Abstract
A slack adjustment system for a disk brake includes a biasing member to adjust slack in a brake system. The biasing member operates independently of pressure applied to a brake actuator. A locking device secures the adjustment mechanism in place when adjustment is not necessary. Release of the locking member allows the biasing member to adjust the resting position of brake pads independent of driver applied brake pressure.
