Abstract
The brake actuating device is disposed in a cylindrical bore of a disc brake caliper leg and comprises an actuating spindle and an actuating nut interconnected by a ball bearing thread. The actuating spindle has a central bore receiving an adjusting spindle surrounded by a sleeve, one end of which is connected to an adjusting nut threaded onto the adjusting spindle and transmitting the actuating force thereon. The other end of the sleeve is accessible through a bore from the outside of the caliper leg and can be turned with a tool in order to reset the adjusting nut for replacement of the worn brake pads.
