Default Re: Parking brakes ?

We had a hard-nosed coach teaching driver's ed and he always made us cover the parking brake pedal with our foot, and apply slight pressure while pulling the release.

That way it doesn't snap back so it's better for your shin and the mechanism.

Also it goes without saying you should shift into gear *before* pulling the release to take stress off the transmission pawl.
