Re: rear brake hose problem,
Check for leaks at the caliper to hose joint as the hose has a taper face joint to seal to the adapter.
Fitting the hose direct may not achieve a reliable joint.
The adapter allows the hose to be undone at that end, rather than unbolting the other end and turning the whole hose for removal. [e.g for caliper removal]
It also allows the top banjo to fit without the hose being twisted to align.
