My next step is to remove that wheel & see if its the caliper locked up or something else.
Thanks

Front wheel problems like this are rather easy and cheap to repair. It might be wheel bearings, which are cheap, and it might be the caliper is not retracting like is should. These calipers are also not too expensive.
If one wheel is much hotter than the other then it is time to look into it. You will need a set of allen wrenches to remove the front outer wheel bearing. It could be all they need is to be repacked with grease.
