The brake head positioning means is comprised of an attachment means that is engageable with a railcar hanger arm for attaching such brake head positioning means to such railcar hanger arm. An extension means that is engageable with and extends substantially perpendicular to and outwardly from such attachment means is also included.

A biasing means, disposed around and slideably engageable with such extension means for providing a bias to such variable distancing means during service is further included.
