Thanks for the info
JARblue.
I just went out and performed this little "tweak". No more than a few minutes to do and now my e-brake grips completely with nearly half the distance of the handle than before, right at 6 clicks. This is the way it should be! I had to make about 20-21 1/4 turns on the ratchet to get the nut to the right setting.
And since there doesn't seem to be any pics posted about this nut that needs to be adjusted, I thought I'd post a couple. The first pic shows the nut, the second pic shows the 10mm deep well socket on said nut.
