Near panic situation, and then I realised....

[mickeyw]

I had a minor panic this afternoon when I went to remove a rear wheel.

My rattle gun battery had died, so out came the breaker bar to loosen the wheel nuts. Bear in mind I had already jacked the wheel off the ground, I leant on the bar and thought, ah better let the jack down. But the wheel was solid, completely solid, not even a bit of transmission backlash!

First thought, seized wheel bearing? They're pretty new so unlikely,(no they weren't Britpart )

The truck was chocked, so handbrake was off, not in gear.

Still trying to figure it out.....

Then I remembered how the X-pedal lock pushes on the brake pedal when deployed.

Panic over, phew.

I hadn't realised quite how much it pushed the pedal! Quite a handy feature really

It's also quite a neat way to test the brake lights
