Man said I have to do a brake hose replacement

Hi,

Something will need to be done. They shouldn't get red hot.

Oftentimes, a stuck caliper will prevent the caliper from releasing pressure from the pads which leads to overheating. We need to determine what is causing them to get that hot.

Here is what I suggest. First, lift one front wheel at a time from the ground and see if you can turn the wheel. If you can, great. If you can't, loosen the bleeder on the rear of the brake caliper and then try turning the wheel again. If it turns, replace the rubber brake hose. If it still doesn't turn, there is a mechanical issue with the brake caliper or slide pins and they should be replaced.

This video shows you how to do the job with instructions below.
