[V8] Give me a brake

[Buchholz, Steven]

... in over 25 years of Audi ownership on 6 different cars (more when you count my BiL's Audis) the only time I've ever had to mess with the handbrake yoke mechanism under the car was when a cable broke.  If for some reason you think you need to adjust this I'd recommend checking everything over first to see if there isn't another problem.  First candidate would be the E-brake return springs on the calipers, and second would be binding in the cables themselves.  I'm afraid that if you adjust the yoke you'd create more problems than you solve.
