Abstract
A disc brake assembly is disclosed which incorporates a disc which includes radially inner and outer portions ( ) which are separated by a gap . Two pad assemblies ( ) are located on respective sides of the disc and are interconnected by a draw bar which extends through the gap and is connected to a piston cylinder assembly. Actuation of the piston cylinder assembly imparts a force to the pad assemblies through the draw bar which causes them to move either towards or away from the disc to thereby effect actuation and release of the brake assembly The draw bar is rotatable about its axis and is releaseably coupled to the outboard pad assembly so as to be operative to move between an engaged configuration with the pad assembly to a released configuration on rotation about the draw bar axis.
