Abstract: A motor and brake assembly having a disengaging mechanism for use with RV's are disclosed. The assembly includes a motor and a disengaging mechanism that is mounted thereon. The disengaging mechanism includes a motor mount comprised of a cylindrical piece with a plurality of holes disposed on the periphery of an outer flange of the cylindrical piece. The cylindrical piece extends over the barrel of the motor and is secured to the barrel with a plurality of screws. Through manipulation of the cylindrical piece, the user can selectively engage or disengage the brake from the motor.

Abstract: The system includes a spindle having a threaded end and a lubricated area spaced from the threaded end, the spindle having a longitudinal axial lubricant passageway extending from the spindle end and terminating adjacent the lubricated area. A lateral lubricant passageway communicates the longitudinal lubricant passageway with the lubricated area. The spindle has radially, diametrically opposed key recesses adjacent the spindle outer end, the key recesses being spaced away from the spindle longitudinal lubricant passageway. A C-shaped flexible retainer has coaxial end portions that are spread apart to extend through openings or slots in a nut and then into the key recesses to lock the nut in threaded position on the spindle. Since the key recesses do not communicate with the longitudinal lubricant passageway, they do not interfere with lubrication of the spindle.

Abstract: A spindle having a threaded end and a lubricated area spaced from the threaded end, the spindle having a first lubricant passageway extending from the spindle end and terminating adjacent the lubricated area and a second lubricant passageway communicating with the first lubricating passageway and the lubricated area. The spindle further having a key opening adjacent the outer end, the key opening extending through the spindle longitudinal axis and the first lubricant passageway being spaced from the axis so that grease may be inserted through the first lubricant passageway without entering the key opening. In an alternate embodiment, the passageway and key openings intersect but the lubricant passageway is larger in diameter than the diameter of the key opening so that when a key is placed in the key opening, lubricant can flow on either side of the key as it flows through the first lubricating passageway, the key being dimensioned so that substantially no lubricant flows through the key opening.
