    So about a month and a half ago I did my rear brake pads and rotors, after doing them I got squeak every time the tire would go around if I was doing under about 10mph. I determined it was the emergency brake shoe. I have not had time to take it all apart till today and It looks like I bent the shoe somehow so I tried to bend it back but made it worse so for now I just removed the shoe entirely and put it all back together.
    My question is will it cause any problems to drive on for a week or so until I can find a new one? So far Auto Zone & Pep Boys doesn't have it.

    It is a 1998 Gtp

    1998 Grand Prix Gtp 4 Door.

    Nope, no problems.

    Just don't apply the e-brake and you are fine.
