Replacing shifter cables with internal cable routing

Hello all,

I'm looking for some advice on replacing shifter cables (Sram Force) on a BMC frame with internal cable routing, which I have never done before: I want to do it myself in order to learn how to service my entire bike.

1. Does it make sense to replace the shifter cables without also changing the housing? Or do you always replace both at the same time?
2. I am planning to use the method with a thin "cable liner" or "housing liner" to guide over my old cable, and then guide the new cable through the internal routing in the frame using this method: https://www.artscyclery.com/learning...tedcables.html
Planning to buy this liner for it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...AVQ4OOHG&psc=1. Anyone know of a better method or liner?
3. Are you supposed to re-use the barrel adjusters at the ends of the cable housings? Or do you replace those?
4. Any other tips / tricks to look out for?

Thank you!
