Hi again, Dave.
Not sure this will help any, but there is a small lever inside the rear housing that acts like a see-saw, tightening the front band as it loosens the rear band, and tightening the rear band as it loosens the front band.

It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it, and I think you'll get it with a little more tinkering.
One thing: The entire linkage, from the actuating handle to the rear housing, should have absolutely no slop.
