ABSTRACT:
The present specification relates to pin sliding caliper disc brakes suitable for use in trucks. The disc brake of the present invention comprises a caliper slidably mounted on a first torque taking member, the caliper being open-topped for the easy insertion of friction pad assemblies. A supplementary torque taking member is detachably secured to the first torque taking member and has a pair of finger-like projections which, in use, engage in complementary recesses in the friction pad assemblies whereby the pad braking force is taken directly by the torque taking members. To replace the pad assemblies, the supplementary torque taking member is detached to allow for easy access to the caliper.
