A brake pedal actuator having a tubular member and a stem telescopically mounted in the tubular member. A J-shaped hook is mounted on the stem for attachment to a segment of a steering wheel of a vehicle. A pedal clamping mechanism is mounted on the tubular member for attachment to the brake pedal of the vehicle. A handle is mounted on the tubular member for allowing a manual pushing and pulling of the brake pedal by a user standing outside the vehicle. In another aspect of the invention, the actuator has a wedge-type locking sleeve and nut affixed to the clamping mechanism for selectively locking the mechanism and for preventing a loosening or clapping of the latching mechanism when the brake pedal is manually actuated back and forth. In a further aspect of the present invention, the brake pedal actuator comprises a ring which is movably mounted on the stem and restrictively positional along the stem. When the brake pedal actuator is in use in a still mode, the position of the ring and the end of the tubular member are usable for monitoring a creeping movement of a brake pedal under a load from the actuator.
