Abstract
A disc brake of the floating caliper type has a pair of laterally spaced guide pins each slidably engageable at one end within a boot provided in a receptor hole in a caliper and rigidly secured at the other end to a support plate for the caliper. For facilitating the replacement of friction pads, displacement between the support plate and one of the guide pins is provided so that in replacing the friction pads, it is only necessary to loosen one of the guide pins and then to rotate the caliper about the other guide pin.
