very carefully
my parking brake release did not take off the parking brake on my 2001 chevy s10? is there a way to disengage it?
Release parking brake. Place transmission in Reverse. Apply brakes very firmly at about 5 mph. Repeat 10 times. That will automatically adjust the parking brake shoes.
take off rear brake calpers and theres a set of brake shoes inside adj and reinstall
I am presuming that you mean the parking Brake light It may be a loose wire or your parking brake (pedal and arm)needs to be tightened. You may also have to tighten the switch
Switch should be located at the upper end of parking brake pedal under dash area Light is common with low brake fluid light
You have to remove the brake caliper first. Then you might have to slack the parking brake. The parking brake on read disc in inside the back of the rotor. If you cannot slack the parking brake, the you will have to hit the rotor ( with a small 5 lb hammer ) to loosen it. Might take a little time if it is stuck on.
The first box is in the car up around the parking brake pedal. The 2nd is under the hood.
To release a stuck parking brake on a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria, first ensure the vehicle is in park and turn the ignition on. Depress the brake pedal fully and then pull the parking brake lever up slightly before pushing the release button while lowering the lever. If it remains stuck, check for frozen cables or malfunctioning components, and consider applying lubricant. If still unsuccessful, it may be necessary to consult a mechanic for further assistance.
There should be a parking brake lever above the parking brake pedal that you pull to disengage the parking brake. It depends on the type you have; if it is a pull-up lever in your center console they can give you a little trouble. Pull it up slightly and while you have upward pressure press and hold the button on the end, than it will drop.
It's on the arm of the brake pedal.
Put your foot on the brake, pu the car into drive and the parking break should disengage. if not, push on the parking break while holding the break in drive.
