I think I will just remove that side's bar tape (most likely reusable as it has never been used), then make a mark where I want the replacement lever to mount and let them disconnect the line, replace the lever, then top off and bleed the line. One thing I wondered was how they orient the lever angles on a one-piece bar to aid in the bleed, i,e,, won't be able to rotate the bar in the stem.
Don’t touch it. One thing mechanics hate is to do jobs which someone else has started. An old sign that used to be common in car repair shops used to go:
Labor: $30 per hour.
If you watch, $50 per hour.
If you help, $100 per hour.
If the repair is being covered, let the repairers do it.
