certainly do NOT clamp the brake hoses... first off, it will not work. the hose is very hard, and reinforced. second, the hose is very fragile, and is very likely to be damaged by even hanging the weight of the caliper, deliberate clamping of the hose is highly unwise.
are your hoses new? 10 years is about the max on the rubber on these hoses, so replacing them when you change/rebuild the caliper is good medicine!
