Hi, I can't answer your question but will say if you spend any time on this try to lube everything best you can and make sure the cables move freely in the housings.  Cable may be loose and floppy because it is not retracting due to binding.

Subject: Emergency break adjustment

Hi folks,

        While under my van today I noticed my emergency break cable was loose and floppy.  when I looked at it more carefully one side could be easily removed from the bracket.  In fact it wasn’t seated correctly and that is how I noticed.  I turned the nut in the center of the bracket so that the cable didn’t flop around any longer but not so much that it moved the two rear cables forward.  Inside my van my emergency brake went from a max of four clicks up to three. 
        As I can’t read the Bentley does it sound like I have this cable in a reasonable position now? the adjustment nut is currently just about centered on the threaded end of the rod coming from the front of the van.
