Make sure the blade you use is very, very sharp! I used a set of plastic pipe cutters (im a heating engineer by trade), they went straight through without deforming the shape of the pipe. That's the main thing, don't deform the pipe!
I ve already cut the actual hose I used shimano cable cutters
I mean when you fit the silver end onto the hose that bolts on to the caliper I m sure I had to remove some of the braiding last time to expose the inner hose?

Me neither. If the hose is plastic coated over the braid you have to remove that - but not the braid itself. On Hope braided hoses anyhoo. Gently widening the olive with a screwdriver or similar sometimes makes it easier.
