As per sc black.
Incidentally, you don't need to bleed shimano s to shorten the hose. You just follow the instructions, which is pretty much remove the pads, put a tiny little spacer in between the pads that comes with the brakes, then pump the brakes a few times till they come all the way out and grab the spacer, open up the bleed valve on the lever, undo the little nut on the brake cable, pull em out cut 150mm off them, it will not leak any oil, reconnect cable, remove spacer, then turn it round and lever the pistons back slowly until spacer fits wider end in, close off lever bleed valve.
Done
Takes about 10 minutes to read the instructions 3 times over, about 7 or 8 minutes to complete job start to finish the very first time you do it.
It was easily the task that scared me most for the least actual need ever. I made sure I had mineral oil on hand, a syringe etc and none of it was needed - a Stanley knife, a baby shifter, and a multi tool and 20 minutes is all you need ( possibly the ability to read would be helpful)
