How hot is too hot, front wheels, hubs?

If the outside of your wheels in the center is that hot, yes it's too hot. The flexible hoses could be the cause. I've heard the inside swells up when the brake is applied and shrinks when the pressure is released and can cause this problem. The spring in the master cylinder pulls the piston back when the brake pedal is released and the vacuum caused by the piston being pulled back pulls the caliper cylinder away from the disc. The hoses can cause the brakes to stick. The calipers can be sticking due to the cylinders or it may not be sliding like it should. Or the spring in the MC could be weak.

I just replaced my MC yesterday (along with the calipers) and it was a bear to bench bleed it. It took a good while using the technique in the directions. I bought an Autozone MC. It fit fine and seems to be working okay too. I don't know that my old one was bad but I've been fighting dragging brakes too.
