A brake assembly that includes a caliper that has a guide bore, a brake carrier, a guide pin having a guide sleeve, and a lock arrangement. The lock arrangement has a friction element and is operable to selectively apply a force to the friction element to increase friction between the guide sleeve and the guide bore and inhibit relative sliding between the caliper and the brake carrier.
