No, sure didnt. I am not that knowledgable on such matters. I just have been told that it was likely the caliper or the brake hose had collapsed inside. I thought I would do the hose first since it was the cheapest... the caliper is much more costly than the hose... too bad they didnt sell me the right hose. I am not sure what caliper name they are looking for... they keep asking what caliper I have... all I know is it has a Mercedes symbol on it, but when they ask me, they list three different calipers, but none of them are Mercedes.
Its agitating for sure.

If you're short on cash, you might want to do some testing before you go parts shopping. You're not going to feel too bright after replacing the hoses, caliper, rotor, etc... only to find out you've got a sticky proportioning valve or something clogging one of the ABS solenoids.
