ABSTRACT:
A sliding caliper disc brake assembly in which the caliper housing has apertures slidably receiving support pins in caliper mounting ears. The ears are provided with boot protectors which receive the support pins through one or more side wall apertures. The boot protectors fit closely to the caliper housing and to the support pins so that road dirt, water, chemicals and other debris are substantially prevented from entering the apertures formed in the caliper mounting ears. The boot protectors may also function as lubricant retainers so that lubricant retained therein may further protect the sliding surfaces.
