<p>End portion (17) of wear adjuster strut (10) for a drum brake is received in inwardly opening slots (19, 20) in brake shoe web (12a) and parking brake lever (11). End portion (17) is flattened forming sidewalls (23, 24), between which are channels (21, 22) that accommodate upper and lower edges of slot opening (19) in lever (11), thus trapping strut end (17) from lateral motionj with respect to lever (11). Cantilevered spring arm (29), which is clipped to strut (10) at (30), biases lever (11) and shoe (12) together. During brake assembly, strut (10) can be swung into slots (19, 20) after the shoe have been fitted to the backing plate.</p> |
