Abstract
A brake hub assembly couplable to the axle of a vehicle includes a brake hub defining a central axis and having a set of lugs, a brake disk in engagement with the hub and axially slideable over the set of lugs, and a stopping plate formed separately from the hub and fastened to the set of lugs. A first portion of the stopping plate extends between adjacent first and second lugs in the set of lugs. The brake hub assembly also includes an axial preload spring coupled to the hub for clamping the brake disk against the stopping plate. A first portion of the axial preload spring extending between the first and second lugs biases the brake disk toward the first portion of the stopping plate.
