ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for selectively coupling members in a brake actuating mechanism. A coupling member is located between an outer clutch sleeve and a clutch cap. The coupling member exerts a pre-determined amount of force on both the outer clutch sleeve and the clutch cap. The force couples the outer clutch sleeve and the clutch cap. The coupling member allows the outer clutch sleeve and the clutch cap to decouple if a torque acting on the clutch cap exceeds the force exerted by the coupling member.
