Abstract
A driven-wheel hub (18) includes an axial cavity (36) for the passage of the body of a bolt (16) for fixing a driving member (14) onto the hub. This member (14) is provided with a tapped hole (17) into which the threaded end (16A) of the bolt body is screwed. The cavity (36) has a diameter which is very much larger than the diameter of the bolt body and is bordered at its rear end by a bearing surface (40) for the head (45) of the bolt. The hub (18) furthermore includes a way of ensuring that it rotates as one with the driving member. A guide for guiding the bolt (37) are provided in the cavity (36) between the said bearing surface (40) and the entry to the tapped hole (15). The guides (38) are spaced away from the said bearing surface (40) along the axis of the hub.
