An assembly for attaching a brake cam shaft to a slack adjuster includes a cam shaft with cam elements at one end thereof and an attachment portion at its other end. The shaft has a spline adjacent the attachment portion. A securing member is locatable about the shaft or a shoulder on the shaft, the securing member or shoulder limiting the extent to which the splined end of the shaft may project into or through the splined aperture of the slack adjuster. A fastener is secured to the attachment portion such that when the shaft is securfed to the slack adjuster, the shaft is held fast relative thereto with the slack adjuster located between the shoulder or the securing member and the fastener.
