Abstract
A disc brake includes a caliper assembly (12) cooperating with a pair of friction elements ((14, 16) to brake a rotor (10). A pin assembly (30) supports the caliper assembly (12) and includes a bolt (34) defining an axial spacing for a sleeve (36) which engages the caliper assembly (12) via a resilient bushing (32). The sleeve is permitted to move axially through a clearance (62) with each brake application and a spring (38) biases the sleeve and caliper to always retract through the clearance upon termination of braking.
