Be aware that generally speaking the hoses don't clog, they swell.   
You fix them by replacement.  I'd suggest taking a look underneath -  
if you see cracks in the outer casing, then they are due for  
replacement anyway.  The main thing to be careful of is breaking off  
the hard line fittings because of rust.  You might want to check the  
hoses, order both fronts if needed, and bring them along with some  
brake fluid (DOT 4) to the meeting.
