Why do you need to worry about the brake line while changing the wheel bearings?

-->I shall be replacing the front RHS wheel bearings on my MkII BT7 soon.I have
Goodridge brake hoses, by which I mean hoses with a stainless steel
woven/braided outer layer. Now, I am thinking of getting some form of clamp to
minimize the drips and ingress of air.Do these things work on braided hoses?It
seems to me that, were the clamp strong enough to squish the hose flat, it
would deform the braiding and the hose would never recover????? Maybe better to
plug the hose with a sharp bit of wood and bleed the system afterwards?? What
do you think? Thanks,Simon
