Can I bleed the brake lines thru the brake hose at the caliper? The rear bleeders are rusted and frozen in, waiting to be twisted off. Thanks.

You can try to but normally not successful. For bleeder screws to loosen remove tire, heat around screw cool with penetrating oil, tap around it with a small hammer. Repeat 5-6 times then try to break it loose. Use a propane torch it doesn't get hot enough to do any harm.
