The nice folk at www.vanagonparts.com have a useful online article about
servicing the Vanagon AT.

I'd like to know more about the whys and wherefores of the second brake
band adjustment procedure. Simply put, after loosening the locknut, you
tighten the adjuster screw to 89 inch pounds, then loosen it, then
retighten it to 44 inch pounds, then back it out 2-1/2 turns. Then
secure it in that position using the locknut.

If anyone can explain what's going on when we do this, I'd like to hear it.
