Avid Elixir 3 hose resizing.

[revcore]

I need to resize the rear hose on my Elixir 3 brakes. I've been told it can be done without having to bleed them. Anyone know if it's true?

I've done it a couple of times but it's not the same every time.
I always stick a new barb on when I cut hoses to it does squeeze some fluid back into the line but you will always get a new air bubble, usually two; when you do it.
Bleeding Juicy 3's isn't hard and can be the difference between brakes that are good enough or brakes that are great.

Anyone here in Geelong able to help me shorten the hose and bleed the brakes?
