Yep, but put it back together and see how much fluid you can save in there. unless it's a front already keep it for a front spare. Bleed as per the intructions for your brake.

Oops.

Measure twice, cut once as "Timber Thompson" my woodwork teacher at school used to say.

The replacement hoses come with everything you need.

Just make sure you order the right one - either straight (like Deore) or banjo (like XTR).

How old? My XT's (775's I think) are straight fit, no banjo

I was cutting Shimano hoses today, and I said to the missus 'Measure Twice, Cut Once'.

You can learn by making mistakes, you're unlikely to do it again - so that's the good news ๐Ÿ˜‰
