Q: 2013 Ford Expedition, left Front caliper will not release fully. Changed entire caliper and brake hose that leads to it. Bled bra

asked by on February 28, 2018

Left front caliper would not release after new brake pad installation. All other wheels and calipers fine. Replaced entire caliper and brake hose. When left front is jacked up tire will not spin freely. Could the damage brake hose have caused enough heat To warp the left front rotor? The damage to the brake hose may have been internal which is why I put a new one on along with the caliber. System has been bled what now?
