Abstract
A disc brake comprises a caliper member (14) which is movably supported relative to a torque member (12) by at least one pin assembly (46). The one pin assembly comprises a first part (50) and a second part (54) with a resilient member (70) therebetween. The resilient member (70) cooperates with the parts (50, 54) and the caliper member (14) to positively retract a friction element (24) upon termination of braking.
