this should be standard practice no matter what. relying on an emergency brake to keep your vehicle in place is poor practice IMO, and asking to get you hurt. as is not chocking the wheels when removing a driveshaft.

the IDEAL way to do this safely is to have a lift, but not everyone has a $10k automotive lift in their garages.
