I always found that the hardest part of the whole procedure was removing the wheel if it's stuck. With octys slam the spare against it plan hopefully that removes that horrible task. The 2nd worst thing is winding that awkward bar around and around in the pissings of rain and freezing of cold. With the trolley jack that piece of nastiness is also removed from the equation.
One of the utube home video's I watched on the hydraclic jacks suggested putting a brick under the opposite side wheel fer todays modern cars with seemingly auto handbrakes, as in if'n your jacking the front right, put the brick behind/under the back left, not a big deal really to throw one spare brick in the boot. I did anyway.

The prius has a normal parking break Ken. As in you don't press a button but rather push down a pedal where the clutch normally is. It even clicks like a normal handbrake when you're positive down. I hate them motorised handbrakes.

Mine has a button to press, and you can feel the parking brake going on, but I still don't trust it.
Anytime I ever get out of the car then I turn it off and leave it in first gear.

I had one of them pox d4d avensis' Ken. In fact my push button parking brake ceased one day and it cost me and arm and a leg to get it fixed.  Ridiculous yokes. When I first got the prius I didn't like the foot operated parking brake.  It's grown on me now though. Does the corolla or camry have button  or foot or normal hand brakes does anyone know?

Camry has a "hold" button, no handbrake, or put it in "park".

What's a hold button bob? Is it like kens 4d4 avensis button brake? I don't like putting it in park on a hill without the parking brake on. The thoughts of the weight of the car sitting on the gear box doesn't sit well with me or am I being overly cautious? Cheers.

I put my foot on the brake then stick it in neutral then the parking brake. I just prefer to feel it roll back on the brake rather than in park. Again, I'm probably being overly cautious.  Or am I?

His driving instructor should've taught him that!

I just like knowing that when it rolls back it's resting on the brake and not on the parking gear which in effect would mean it's resting on the gear box. Again, I'm probably being overly cautious.

all the new auto toyotas have a hold button. just press it on at the start of every shift.
when the car is in drive when you come to a full stop it'll automatically anchor the car.
press the juice pedal and it'll automatically disengage it.
