Default E-Brake how to

just found this a bit funny and did not see a general discussion area to post it.

Instructions
  1. Position wood blocks or wheel chocks in front and behind both of the rear wheels.
  2. Slide a floor jack underneath the center of the rear axle, then lift the rear of the vehicle

I find funny they are calling the parking brake an emergency brake. Trying to stop a car running at highway speed using the parking brake will probably result in a trip to the emergency room. The parking brake is designed to hold a car from rolling after it has come to a stop. The procedure they give for adjusting the parking brake will probably work for early Camaros but is useless for later ones such as 4th & 5th gen, as they have parking brakes that automatically adjust themselves.
