I'm with Bruce on this - I'm not a fan of pinching the hoses. I've never seen one break from doing it, but the idea of crimping that nylon/teflon inner liner doesn't sit well with me. If you're really worried about not forcing fluid upstream, wouldn't blocking the brake pedal down serve the same purpose, preventing fluid from running upstream to the m/c? Once the seals cross the reservoir ports, there's nowhere else for the fluid to be displaced to is there?
