Front left brakes really hot after thirty minutes of driving. Replaced the brake hose and caliper and bled but is still getting hot. If I put in neutral it does not stop .

Good morning,

Did you also replace the pads and the rotor? The rotor may be warped from the overheating and causing partial application of the brakes.

I have not, I wanted to make sure the problem was solved so I would destroy the new brakes and rotors.
