for some reason the parking brake isint working and i am trying to do the kdp mod.
i have manual transmission and am wondering if there is another way to bar the crankshaft from turning other than applying the parking brake.i tried with just the trans in gear and that is not stopping the crank from turning.I knoe on an automatic there is a plate that allows acces to the flywheel and you can put something in between the teeth to stop the crank form turning.
is thier anything else i can do beside applying the parking brake to stop the engine from turning on my 94 cummins with standard trans?

thank you

 

Put it in the lowest forward gear in 4x4 and chock the wheels.

 

my dodge truck is a two wheel drive model..i am going to try chocking the wheels
and i am going to look at fixing my parking brake
what are common symptoms of these parking brakes failing?

 

Wore out shoes, stretched cables, faulty hardware.

 

when mine didnt work it was the worn out shoes

 

is there another way to take the crankshaft pulley off?
besides applying the parking brake and the clutch on a standard trans?

Impact wrench??

 

no need for all that..............get the right socket on there with a breaker bar then give it a wack with a hammer.................the bolts will come right out befor the motor has a chance to turn

 

why do you need too? if your just doing the kdp you dont need to.
