Abstract
A thrust reverser is described that comprises a new type of locking means for locking an actuator in position so that maintenance can be performed on the machine. The locking means comprises a removable locking device for preventing movement of an actuator. The locking means may also function in one configuration as an end cap. An actuator is also described comprising a removable torque limiting device for limiting torque of the actuator.
