George,

If it's the calipers, you'll need to take the hoses loose. If it's the hoses, you'll need to take the hoses off. Why not start with taking them loose and see what that tells you?

-OR-

See if you can push back the caliper pistons with the bleeders open. If you can't, they are either frozen or there is blockage in the calipers (unlikely -- the halves are not mismatched), and you'll need to rebuild or replace the calipers. With the calipers off, the hoses are halfway loose, and you can take them completely loose and see if you can blow through them.
