An output head is connected to the tubular portion and includes an outer tubular portion extending towards the piston. A compression spring is provided disposed between the tubular portion of the cylindrical nut member and the outer tubular portion of the output head. A sleeve member is disposed between the spring and the outer tubular portion of the output head. This sleeve is provided with a slot which extends in an axial direction along the sleeve. The outer tubular portion includes an opening which may be aligned with the sleeve slot. A member such as a pin is provided which extends through the opening into the slot holding the sleeve and the outer tubular portion in a position engaged around the spring.
