Re: brake rear flex hose
Disconnect at the joint with the solid pipe first. Don't twist the solid pipe or you will have to replace it. Worse it may snap. Best to use a proper brake spanner and give than joint a good soak with proper penetrating fluid first.
Then disconnect at the caliper.
Replace caliper end first, then top end and bleed the system fully.Good opportunity to refresh the brake fluid in complete system. It should be replaced every couple of years.

Just to add - Don't overtighten new hose fittings!
