New Drive axel, bearing assembly, caliper(re-manufactured), pads, and rotor. The old caliper (original) would not release which caused a cascade involving everything else except the drive axel. worked for a couple weeks. Today a vibration started and the wheel was too hot to touch again (boils water when poured on shaft end. could it be the re-manufactured caliper?

Have you replaced the rubber brake hose to the caliper?
