Imagine my (mild) shock after doing my own brakes for 30 years and then coming upon this tidfbit of knowledge JUST after buying parts for my truck.

For anyone else navigating all the misinfo around doing this on a ford truck:

Set the ignition to ON.

Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the electronic parking brake (EPB) switch in the APPLY (upward) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the electronic parking brake EPB switch.

Firmly press the brake pedal for at least 1 second. Release the brake pedal while continuing to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.

Set the ignition to OFF then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds, then release the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.

Are you to chant in Latin or Enochian while performing this ritual?

I'm trying to figure out how many appendages this procedure requires.
