Abstract
A disc brake having a piston retraction assembly includes a caliper (12) receiving a piston (14) for biasing a friction pad (16) into engagement with a rotor (18). A recess (30) on the caliper receives the retraction assembly 32 and a boot assembly 34 cooperates with the retraction assembly (32) to limit movement of the latter with the piston (14). A resilient member (40) engages the boot assembly (34) to bias the piston (14) via friction ring (36) to return to its rest position.
