When you say "the contour data changes", I assume you mean you are contouring a new set of data, with new contour levels, and not just changing the cmap. In this case there is no point in trying to save something from the old colorbar, so remaking it is the right thing to do. Simple, effective, foolproof. (If only the cmap is changed, then the existing colorbar should be getting updated automatically.)
