Abstract

A brake actuating lever is connected to a fluid actuator through a thrust rod extending from the fluid actuator and a yoke pivotally mounted on the lever. An adaptor is movable along the thrust rod and is received within the yoke when the rod and yoke are to be connected. A split retaining ring engages mating grooves in the adaptor and in the yoke to provide a releasable connection between the yoke and the thrust rod.
