Here is a simple trick for diagnosing brake hose restriction..

Jack that wheel and go push the brake pedal down very hard.. once

Now go try and hand turn the wheel... if it is locked or very hard to turn, loosen the bleeder . If it now turns easily, it is a bad hose .. if it still is hard to turn, you have a sticking caliper or dragging emergency brake.
