Brakes can be a bear. Probably easier to replace it all than fool around with the old stuff. Old brake hoses are always a pain. Old rubber hoses can give a lot of trouble. On my ole truck the driver side caliper would stick. Thought it was the caliper and replaced it. Then found out it was the hose instead. Such a pain. It took more than just replacing the hoses. I had to cut the hose at the connection carefully then take it all apart. There went a weekend....grr. You'll get it fixed in no time.
