ABSTRACT:
The aircraft brake retention mechanism (40) comprises a retractable mechanism (41) having an enlarged circular head (42) , and a threaded shaft (43) received threadedly in an end part (50) biased by a resilient mechanism (60). The head (42), shaft (43), end part (50) and resilient mechanism (60) are received within a radial opening (33) of a piston housing (30), with the end part (50) extending through the radial opening (33) and into abutting engagement with a flange (13A) of the axle (13) . The piston housing (30) is connected fixedly with a torque tube (20) so that the piston housing (30)/torque tube (20) and associated brake discs (34, 36) are retained axially by the axle flange (13A) which is captured axially between the end part (50) and torque tube (20) . The retractable mechanism (41) may be retracted manually and rotated to engage a surface (37A) of the piston housing (30) and be retained in the; retracted position, so that the brake assembly (10) may be disengaged from the axle (13).
