Answer
Hi Billy,
Why did you replace the brake hose on the drivers side?

Often, those brake hoses are the cause of the brakes acting strangely, and not releasing. It is because they deteriorate inside, and form a plug where the little metal sleeve is, that bolts to the spindle tower.

Any chance the passengers side is the one heating up now? Feel and compare them after a short trip.

May just need to replace that hose also.
