e-brake problems...
I’ve been working on my drum brakes for quite some time now. I was having a problem with the right rear wheel locking up on me. first I thought that the reason I was having troubles was due to my wheel cylinder having a lil movement, but now I realized that its because my e-brake cable was locked up… so I went to the store and got a new one for drum brakes, turns out the cable was to long… so I went back and we ordered the e-brake for a disc rear end, but what I wondering is if I could just go with out an e-brake? Anyone ever do it?

i've got a 5 speed with no e-brake. just take off the bracket from the shoe and zip tie the cable to a hole in the shoe.
