摘要： An anchor piston for a wedge brake includes a cylinder having a closed end engaging the wedge actuator and an opposite open end. An insert is slidably received in the cylinder and includes a portion projecting from the cylinder and having a slot formed therein which is adapted to receive one end of a brakeshoe. The portion of the insert which is disposed in the cylinder is provided with an axially extending surface having a pair of opposed end portions adjacent the wall of the cylinder. A pin projects from the wall of the cylinder and engages one of the opposed end portions to properly position the slot to receive the brakeshoe. By rotating the insert so that the pin engages the other one of the opposed end portions, the piston may be used in the brake mounted on the other side of the vehicle.
