Abstract
An arrangement of guiding a caliper of a floating caliper disc brake comprising two axial pins fixed to a carrier member and projecting away from the disc through guiding openings in the caliper. At the other side of the disc the caliper is detachably fixed to a brake pad having a backing plate which is axially slidably arranged between two arms extending from the carrier beyond the edge of the disc, the backing plate being locked in the radial direction at one of the two arms. This guiding arrangement avoids clamping forces and allows easy replacement of the brake pads.
