Towin with the hand brake on..Help needed.

Postby coom1986 » Wed Aug 13, 2008 9:11 am

Today i used the pathy to tug my other car (2004 santa fe) out cos it got bellied over a very big maintenance hole cover..i know its stupid but i didnt realize i was goin over it till i couldn get out and that being front wheel drive didnt have the traction..So i used the pathy to tug it out while my dad steered the other one.
The thing is i used the hand brake while i attached the tug rope and forgot to take it off while tugging it, yeh i didnt realize. But i only moved a couple o feet, 2 or 3 may be..Do u guys think i need to be concerned?? it was serously a very small distance. Any thing to the engine may be..??Pls help...

Only 2-3 ft ?? Your fine ..... Mabie 2-3 miles ... even then it would just have worn the e-brake lining a bit ...

Yeh it was really short, the rear of the santa fe was bellied so the front wasnt getting enough traction. Just needed to move the vehicle forward. Anyways thats a relief..
Thanks alot..
