A quick connect coupling for connecting a threaded push-rod to a clevis of a brake actuating lever, the coupling comprises the combination of a collar having an internal bore threaded for engagement with the push rod, a head at one end of the collar and a recess forming a shoulder spaced from the head, latching means carried by the clevis and biased into a first position extending internally of a bore provided to the clevis and latch displacing means carried by the collar adjacent to the shoulder. During assembly the latch displacing means serves to displace the latching means upon axial insertion of the collar into the bore and the latching means returns to its first position and engages the shoulder provided to the collar to prevent withdrawal of the collar from the clevis bore.
