First though, anyone looking for the part might want to check rockauto.com. The prices discussed here seem amazing, but they would be basically impossible where I'm at. So rockauto.com is for those in area like me, not you guys in the US.
My question is why not remove the bolts before you remove the line? Of course you'll have to loosen the bango bolt slightly before you remove the bolts, but you might save some mess and some fluid this way.

Agree but it's all part of trying to KISS for the noobs. I thought about it but wanted to use the least number of words and steps possible. Def. kept it in mind as plan-B until I saw how little it already leaks. Really, next to nothing.
I also figured there is less chance of spillage if the main port is plugged before moving it.

I've done the same but don't recommend it for a first-timer. It's possible to give the master cylinder an air embolism with one quick dumbshit move. I
think this would be just like running it dry.
