Abstract
A mechanism for a sliding-pin type disc brake assembly provides a gap between a brake pad and the rotor. The mechanism includes a bushing that receives a sliding pin and a resilient element between the end of the pin and the end of the bushing. The pin reciprocates in the bushing during operation of the brakes, and the bushing moves along the bore as the brake pads wear.
