[Closed] Swapping hydraulic brake lines over on new bike

My new Crux came with the front brake on the right and as all my bikes
have it on the left I need to swap the lines over.
There are some in-line couplers fitted that I've not seen before.
Is it a case of reconnecting the couplers as I need them and just doing a bleed?
Or should I drain the brake fluid out of the system first, reconnect the couplers then fill the system?

They look very much like the Sram ones, which shouldn't need bleeding, though I may be wrong.What brakes are they?

I think the coupler is called a connectamajig, designed for easy of factory assembly not dismantling for travel, but possibly allowing two disconnections before a bleed is required?

If they are anything like same sort of couplers for stealth Reverb you should be able to use them at least 2-3 times without need of bleeding.

Cheers!
