Hello guys i had to remove my rear end due to a stripped fill plug and ran new brake lines. Anyway my ebrake cables were shot so i just cut them to remove the rear end. And honestly this isnt a daily driver and i wouldnt care not having a e brake for now, so My ? is will i need to have that ebrake hardware in the drum for the rear brakes to still work and function properly? Any input would help thanx

I cut mine ebrake lines as well when I put my 8.8 rear end in. My ebrake never worked right so I just took my angle grinder to the lines to save some time...I may one day fix it but I never used it to start with and its my daily driver
