ehhhhhh it might... having the parking brake on mechanically forces the
shoes in the braking position. Thus the return springs cannot retract
the shoes, and thus the pistons in the rear brake cylinders will not be
pushed back in. But I do not know if this would prevent the cylinders
from being properly bled.
