Any heat you would feel would be from the brake pads, stopping the vehicle. If anything, just warm to the touch on the bearings. The rotors would be a little bit warmer if you had done a lot of braking.

New brake shoes were also installed. However, I am not sure this would show on the exterior hub. Infrared gun shows both hubs at 95 F after a 5 mile test run.
