An anchor plate for a brake assembly and a method of attachment to an annular rib of axle tube of a vehicle. The anchor plate which defines a backing plate for a drum brake and guide rails for a caliper of a disc brake has a flange with a keyhole having with an arcuate length approximately equal to an axle retained in the axle tube. In assembly, the anchor plate is moved in an angled plane toward the axle until the keyhole moves past the axle. The anchor plate is rotated into radial alignment with axis of the axle and the flange is aligned with the axle tube. Then the flange is axially moved onto the axle tube until the flange engages the annular rib. Bolts are located in holes in the flange to fix the anchor plate to the axle tube. Thereafter, a bracket is attached to the anchor plate to position a cantilever member which retains a cable sheath is aligned with a lever opening in the anchor plate.

[ We claim:] [1.]1. An anchor plate for a brake assembly having a flange attached to an annular rib on an axle tube, said anchor plate defining an attachment surface for a backing plate of a drum brake and first and second guide rails for a disc brake, said anchor plate being characterized by said flange having a keyhole with a throat having an arcuate length approximately equal to the diameter of an axle retained in said axle tube, said flange being retained in engagement with said annular rib by a plurality of bolts that extend through said flange and a projection for receiving a first arm and a second arm that extend from a base of a bracket, said bracket having a cantilever member that extends from said base with an opening therein for receiving a sheaf of an actuation cable for the drum brake.
