I was apprehensive....thinking I might screw things up. My ebrake just wasn't holding. That's no good. I related how by trial and error on a 10° slope I gradually adjusted the Yoke Nut. Mine is '85 Tintop, with corrugated boot on handle. Anyway, after about 700 miles and many pulls on ebrake in a multitude of situations, I can report all is well and good. It took 3 turns, about .120" of travel. Yes...Click 1 says OK, Click 2 says I'm starting to feel it nicely, Click 3 says holding things pretty darn good almost there, Click 4 says Rear Brakes are locked and solid. That's all the clicks I got. No issues whatsover with brake performance, no smells of overheating. It is very nice to pull into a parking lot with a slope, pull the handle, and have Vanagon locked. Just my experience.
