Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for assembling a protective boot in an air brake actuator. A mounting tube extends into the nonpressurized air chamber of the actuator and is formed with a groove in an outer peripheral surface. The end of the boot serves as a sleeve which is slipped over the end of the tube. A retainer ring, preferably carried by the boot, is forced downwardly to compress portions of the boot into the tube groove to thereby secure the boot in place.
