Abstract
A disc brake includes a caliper slidably mounted on a fixed support through an axial column projecting from the fixed support. Rotation of the caliper about the axial column is prevented by the engagement of complimentary axial sliding surfaces on the caliper and on the fixed support. Upon axial movement of the caliper with respect to the fixed support in excess of a predetermined distance, the sliding surfaces may be disengaged, thereby permitting the caliper to swing about the column so that the friction elements may be replaced. Movement of the caliper with respect to the fixed support is normally kept to a distance less than the predetermined distance by a stop pin carried by the caliper.
