Driver's Side Floorpan Removal Handbrake
I'm wondering if it's possible to re-engage the handbrake with the floorpan removed. Safety first - I usually have the handbrake on when I'm working on a vehicle, but if I remove the floorpan ...

Not sure about that, but I have found that you can do just about everything with the cables still attached. Just unbolting it has always given me enough room to move things around and gain the access I need.

Not without making some kind of handbrake lever simulating device. I just chock the wheels. Sometimes even with actual wheel chocks (but usually with whatever lumps of wood are lying around in the workshop.)sealica wrote:I'm wondering if it's possible to re-engage the handbrake with the floorpan removed.
As Tomaboyd says, if you're doing something that absolutely requires the handbrake you can leave the cable attached and just move the cover sideways a bit, but that's a pain.
Nothing says "poor workmanship" more than wrinkles in the duct tape.

OK cool. I suspected this. Chunks of wood it is! Got some firewood from the last forest time ;)
