That's a very good demo.  It is still hard to apply to the specifics of our
"unique" vanagon ATs.

I did that per Bentley, but used a borrowed inch pound torque wrench that
was on it's very lowest setting to do the final torque.  I know they aren't
as accurate at the far ends of their measurement range.  That was the first
thing I was going to try, to tighten the 2nd gear band.
