The hose can break down on the inside and act as a one way valve keeping pressure on the piston. I've seen it twice in 30 + years of mucking around with cars. If you're replacing calipers you may as well do the hoses too.

I'm interested for sure, what was the price of the shirts last time? I'd take a medium or small (I'm sick of tucking shirts in down to my knees)
