??? one is not supposed to have that issue that changing the strut insert would require to open the brake line and needing to bleed it afterwards!

maybe your brake hose was just that one cm too short? aftermarket?

I always manage to get it done by lifting the front so it is free in the air and remove wheels.
to change left insert (driverside), turn steering to the left as much as needed to give the hose some "length" and reduce stress

but in the end that was the reason I changed the hose setup completly.
also easier now to remove the caliper and place aside to change the disc
