First time I tackled a rusty brake caliper on my quest to get my dad's motorcycle running again (so I could use it), I installed the piston backwards. No front brake as a light turned to red. Sailed into the intersection sideways with the rear brake locked up. Nobody was there, so I just went on my way. Learned what I had done wrong after tearing it back down.
