Claim 13:
14. A method of assembling a shear coupling comprising first and second coupling members, said first and second coupling members each having an axial bore formed therethrough with a shoulder formed on the second coupling member within the axial bore, the axial bore of at least one of the first and second coupling members having an internally threaded portion; and a shearable connecting member having a first end and a second end, said first end comprising a body having a circumferential flange formed thereon that is axially engageable with the shoulder, the method comprising the steps of:
driveably connecting the first and second coupling members;
inserting the shearable connecting member into the axial bore formed through the first and second coupling members such that the circumferential flange is axially engaged with the shoulder and the internally threaded portion of the axial bore is radially supporting the shearable connecting member; and
operatively connecting the first and second coupling members together.
