A profiled insert piece (,) has an internal shape which matches the profile of the circular section and flat of the attachment bar and an external shape which matches the deformable ring (,) is inserted between the attachment bar (,) and deformable ring (,). A nut (,) is connected to a screw (,) that extends between the first lug (,) and the second lug (,) and the spring is attached to the second lug (,) and brake pressure equalizing device (,).
