Illinois- no inspection required!!! just looking to by-pass until i can afford new cables an such, need the jeep runnin for a job on monday, but they are in the appied position, wich doesn't allow for the drums to slide on, new hardware, shoes, wheel-cylinders, adjuster cables. Wasnt able to get the drums on, then som-one suggested to check the e-brakes, this thing sat for 3 yrs before i got it! do i need to install the bracket that attaches to the primary shoe or go without??? Thanks again!!!! and no inspection where im at!

The arm that the the e-brake attaches to can be removed, but keep in mind--- Out of site, out of mind.... Once you are done will you remember to install new parts down the road (Before you need it and don't have it) or will you do what most of us unfortunately do-----Ehhh, I'll do it later (right)
