Default Can you help me identify rear brake hose?

I'm on rockauto looking to order rear brake hoses for my 01 blazer 4.3 4dr LT 4WD.

I've a problem in that my rear calipers were seized when I bought the truck and although I freed them ok, the rear brakes are dragging and the calipers won't release.

Im ordering new calipers as well, but can anyone tell me what hoses I need to order from rockauto to suit my needs? There are outer, lower, centre, I'm not sure which is which. I'm thinking just the ones from the calipers to metal pipes. I'll change all though if needs be.

I'm from Ireland so I want to order all in one go! So far I've ordered so much stuff from the because I cannot get any parts in my country.

Many thanks
Adam

Ps my vehicle inspection is on the 11th July so I need parts a few days before to get all fitted.

I am a GM Tech and speaking from past headaches. If you are gonna go as far to replace the rear calipers and outer hoses. You may as well replace the center main flex hose as well as the hard lines going across both sides of the axle. Because I can promise that almost all those fittings are rusted and sized fast. Also be sure to clean out your 2-way splitter on the base of the center line real good with some break clean or parts cleaner. they get gummed up a lot.
