Abstract
In a disc brake, a caliper body straddles the disc and carries disc engaging brake pads therein. The caliper body is rotatably mounted to the brake support by means of a guide including a pin on the downstream side of the pads. The caliper body is releasably secured in the brake support by means of a movable stop upstream of the pads. Threaded retainer pins engage portions of the pads to retain them within the caliper body and at the same time draw opposed portions of the caliper body together with a predetermined force.
