Default Caliper not getting any fluid!

My drivers side caliper has been getting real hot. I have removed and greased the pins in the past. So today I decided to do all new brakes on the front. Well my drivers side caliper is not getting any fluid. When I removed to old caliper nothing came out. I went ahead and put the new caliper on and tried to bleed it nothing in coming out. Has anyone else had this problem? Its a 2011 f150 xlt 4x4

Sounds like the rubber hose has deteriorated on the inside.

Are you talking about the supply hose?

Either the soft rubber brake line that feeds the caliper is damaged inside, or the hard brake line that feeds the rubber one is kinked. I've seen both happen. I had to replace my drivers front hard brake line. Someone before me had replaced it and didn't bend it well.

Yes, the rubber hydraulic hose which is attached to the caliper.
