The Ekar shifter is not set up the same way I’m used to from shimano. There’s a weird silver thing:

I’m used to threading the hose into the shifter with a barb and olive.

In my case, I need to remove that silver piece from the hose so I can put on the cable guide and then re-bleed. Is that possible? If it’s not I’ll need to completely take out the internal hose which will require basically dismantling the whole bike.
You thread the olive and barb into the caliper - which is why the caliper is not hooked up to the hose and the hose is hooked up to the shifter. Take apart from the caliper.
