    How do most of you push in the trailer brake/parking brake button? I use my index and middle finger, I crook them and push the buttons in with the middle section of both fingers, I think that's the most common way of pushing in the buttons.
    What about you? Anybody push them in way differently?

    I never pull them out. Just park on a flat spot and throw a rock under the tire. :biggrin_2555:
