Default Re: Parking brake ratchet replacement

I would also suggest you not think of it as an "emergency" brake or "ebrake". It is a parking brake. I trained myself to think of it as only for parking when I realized that thinking of it and using it as an "ebrake” was putting too much load on the pawl and causing premature failure. Telling myself "Parking brake" put a stop to that. (No pun intended.)
