Trick to Removing Parking Brake Handle

If you want to try to drive the pin out and back in again in the car, you're going to need a length of 4X4 or similar tight fit between that handle and the cars floor. Too much bounce/lost blow with some support.

That certainly makes sense. Probably explains why I have made zero progress while banging away at it in the car. I guess I will have to give the 2x4 trick a try. Thanks.
