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.
