Default Brakes and one of those days

So got off work early. Wife was sunning herself in a bathing suit in the drive way. Figured I would complete the picture and decided to work on my car and wash it in the driveway. Took the front right wheel off to clean it. I bought a set of ceramic pads to swap out one day and figured today was the day.

First problem. For some reason I missed the jack point and when I jacked up the car the lower moulding started to pop out. Quickly realized this and put the jack in the correct place. No harm done.

Then tried to remove the caliper. In a base 997.2 you have to disconnect the brake line or you will bend the solid line. Did not see this on the DIY I read here. I think I creased mine a little before I realized my mistake. After swearing a few times put everything back together stock. Now I have to replace the brake line...

We've all done something like this;. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully, many tragedies averted.
