A vehicle brake assembly includes a multi-component lever assembly. The lever assembly includes a push rod receiving insert received into a push rod receiving insert opening. The multi-component lever assembly provides for alternate final configurations during the final assembly stages of the brake assembly. The operating shaft is assembled into the brake housing through a housing opening which is closed off by a closing plate. The push rod receiving insert received is then passed through a push rod opening and into the push rod receiving insert opening until locked in place.
