I'm not understanding why a pothole broke your brake line. Was your line too short too handle full suspension articulation?

Also, I don't know if you are aware or not, but broken bleeders can often be repaired by removing the broken stub and threading a new one in. I hope you didn't buy whole new calipers needlessly.

How is that even possible, since the caliper is completely contained withing the wheel? Was your wheel bent into it or something?

No but i ran over the pothole and the left flex line and steel lines had to be replaced...pothole was filled with water and it was at least a foot deep. They did put pylon after couple hours later.
