ABSTRACT:
A disc brake includes a caliper (10) slidably mounted on a fixed carrier (12) by an axial pin (38). A locking element (46) extends axially between the caliper (10) and fixed carrier (12) to maintain the caliper in circumferential alignment with the fixed carrier. The locking element (46) is fixed to either the caliper or the fixed carrier so that it will not become separated therefrom when the caliper (10) is pivoted about the pin (38) connection and rotated away from the fixed carrier (12) for servicing of the parts, and provides a snap-- together engagement of the caliper and carrier. A ramp (90) provides an interference engagement with the locking element (46) when the caliper (10) is pivoted downwardly into operational position relative to the fixed carrier (12).
