Okay here OP says he bought A Guide R which he wants to use 

 

this means he can NOT FLUSH the hoses and use the shimano ones 

 

OP please post pics of every parts of this system before starting to fit them or bring fluid near them , both ends of the hose , caliper and lever 

 

 

I have read this three times now and it seems like we're saying he should flush the hose then all will ne fine ( which it will) BUT he said just above he got Guide R's which he wants to fit 

 

 

...

It is internal routed so he's going to have to cut the rear in any way. So flushing the existing hose and fitting it with the SRAM fittings will be the least hassle

Wrt pictures , are you referring to the Deore system or the Guided R ? 

Whichever one is going on your bike 

 

1st prize would be to go to A shop and ask them to expressly explain what needs to be done and why(exactly) every part needs to go where and which parts can work with each other and which can't

So the best is to keep the hose in its place 

& only swap out the calliper  and lever !

I assume you are based in PTA so you're more than welcome to bring the bike to me. I will help you to finish it up and also give you how to DIY. I do have all the tools and some parts 😋

 

O ya, I won't even charge you 👍
