Abstract
A brake assembly includes a guide spring for returning a parking brake actuator arm to a release position and which serves to guide an apply cable into engagement with the actuator arm during assembly. The guide spring is inhibited from deflecting during insertion of the cable by a retaining spring that spans across the opposing lower brake shoe ends at the adjuster link and which includes an extending tail positioned adjacent the guide spring.
