Over the last two weeks it was getting harder to stop.  It appeared that
there was no braking action coming from the rear.  Jacked it up, applied
brake, rotated rear tires. Da*&^%%$ that isn't good.  Everything looked
normal, no leaks, nothing obvious.  Ok, bleed um.  Na, no fluid.  Removed
nipple, not plugged, still no flow.  Remove pipe, no fluid no flow. Remove
supply hose  - lots of flow - all over me.   More (*&$^%)( (sure the
neighbors learned a new word).  Removed entire hose, upon inspection - the
inner wall had separated and closed off the hose. Never had that one happen
before.  New hose, flushed out all pipes, bled brakes and she stops again.
