ABSTRACT:
A brake system for a vehicle having an axle supporting a wheel hub including a disc on the axle adjacent the hub, a housing supported by the vehicle in proximity to the disc, the housing having an opening therein which is perpendicular the disc planar surfaces, a pad support slideably and non-rotatably received in the housing opening, the pad support having a pad on the outer end and on the inner end having a surface defined by two intersecting planes, an actuator rotatably supported within the housing having a forward surface defined by two intersecting planes, the forward surface engaging the pad support forward end, the actuator upon rotation causing the angled inter-relationship of the pad support forward face with the actuator rearward face serving to axially displace the pad support, and bolts extending beyond the disc supporting a pad on the opposite side of the disc, the bolts being connected to the housing so that as the actuator is rotated force is applied to the pads against the opposed surfaces of the disc to apply braking force.
