Is the rear hose new or just shortened?
It sound like there is a bad connection / kink in the hose if you cannot get the fluid easily in or out.
A nice way to work with annoying brakes is to take it completely of the bike and mount the lever high on something and have the caliper lower on the floor/hanging down. Just for less frustration.
