An aircraft brake assembly (10) includes a torque tube (16) having a passageway (18) for receiving a temperature probe, the passageway (18) having a wall and a width (W) and a length, and a temperature probe (20) having a width (w) less than the passageway width (W) and at least one angled portion (34, 36) where a centerline (44) of the temperature probe (20) changes direction. The temperature probe (20) has a lateral offset (L) greater than the passageway width (W) so that the probe (20) cannot be inserted into the passageway (18) without flexing it at the at least one angled portion (34, 36), and the temperature probe (20) is mounted in the passageway (18) and held in a flexed state by the passageway wall. Also a method of mounting a temperature probe in a brake assembly. |
