Abstract
A gauge for measuring wear of a brake pad of a brake includes a first component having a first longitudinal portion extending in a longitudinal direction; the first component further has a jaw extending transversely from said first longitudinal portion. The jaw has a first contact region configured to contact a first side of a brake assembly. A second component has a second longitudinal portion extending in the longitudinal direction and a scale portion. A slide is configured to longitudinally slide along the scale portion. The slide has a second contact region configured to contact a second side of the brake assembly. The first and second components are interconnectable in a first relative position and a second relative position. The first and second contact regions define a mutual distance indicative of a thickness of the brake pad when applied to a brake caliper with the brake applied.
