The first body includes a male end portion having a plurality of fingers extending outwardly and arcuately along the body, a terminating portion of each finger elastically urgable in an inward direction. The second body includes a female end portion having a plurality of longitudinally extending receiving slots along an inner surface of the female portion, each longitudinal slot positioned to axially receive in assembly a respective one of the fingers, and a recess formed in the female portion inner surface adjacent and arcuately offset from each longitudinal slot. The first body is axially loaded into the second body by inserting the fingers into the slots, and the loaded first body is rotated relative to the second body, inwardly urging the fingers, and receiving the fingers within the respective slots.
