e-brake aka parking brake.. help please! well im removing the rearend to install my 4.10's ... first off im having a blast lol. 
. then i run into this ebrake crap and im wondering how much it weights from the handle on back..... also i see the bracket in the ds tunnel for it... but whats in front of that b/t that and the handle.. tryign to see if its worth pulling out or not.. one guy told me all together it might weight 20lbs!!! another said 10
how do i get all that out from under the center console... prolly gonna be a bitch huh?
should i do this or not guys...
btw if it really wieghs 20lbs then its worth it, ill just carry a brick around when im on the street and lodge in front of the tire....

I pulled mine. The E brake handle itself is probably 5lbs and the cables coming from the handle to the rear brakes are prob another 5lbs at best.
I cant see removing the E brake from a street car.... The ONLY reason I removed mine is I went with Strange Race brakes from and rear and its now a track only car.
