Yup, I just used 2 clamps and pinched the lines. I'll be cool.

Can the brake line that connects to the caliper be plugged easily? I am going to take mine apart and have coated and will be down for a week or so.

You'll have to bleed the whole system again regardless. I'd just wrap a plastic bag around them to prevent grit from getting in there. You can shop around the hardware stores for little threaded plugs but I don't know what size you'd need.
