![]() How do you tighten the parking brake on a van? I have a 77 westy van and the parking brake is weak to say it best...
I know on the beetle there are simple nuts to tighten the brake... but don't see anything like it on the van... any words of advice?

![]() Before you adjust the cables, make SURE the rear shoes are adjusted correctly. Tighten each star until the wheel locks and back off two clicks each. Your handbrake will probably be ok.....
