Evening all , I'm going to replace the dohnut on my d1 very soon and I want to drive the rear wheels up on my little Ramps to give me some room underneath to work , when I un bolt and slide the prop back will I loose the hand brake or will it still work on the front prop?
Cheers

Quick update , since removing the viscous and replacing the thermostat the needle sits perfect and the engine gets to temp much quicker , the heaters also kick out some serious heat now , toasty
Thanks to all that replied with helpful advice

Popped a new one in but not seem to make a difference , should the viscous fan be spinning on first start up from cold? Mine is

The thing is the blowers kick out lovely hot air once warm even with the needle on the gauge reading low

I can sit and idle all day and the temp gauage won't climb but once I'm driving it will start to climb , if I open the hot air on full it will drop down some? Any ideas lads
