Bending chevy parking brake to clear kicks?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey, I know I have seen some people, including Steve, that have bent their parking brake over a few inches. I was just wondering what the best way to do it would be? I tried pulling on it but seems i would end up breaking its bracket before it would bend.

Any ideas?

i had to do something similar with my 04 ranger. the gas pedal and brake were so close together i couldn't hit one and not the other. i don't have small feet but there not exactly huge either.

i took a ratchet strap and anchored the upper part to a solid piece of the truck, then grabbed a big ass pipe wrench and pulled the opposite way. i was also worried about breaking the mounting bolts. but by securing the top tobe sure i only Bent metal. it took some grunting but worked line a charm.

now go put your big boy pants on and get out there!
