ABSTRACT:
A disc brake assembly with a pivotable caliper is disclosed. The disc brake is a dual pin type, floating caliper disc brake wherein the caliper can be pivoted about one of the pins to facilitate servicing thereof while the caliper remains supported by that pin. Also disclosed is a novel outboard brake shoe assembly including spring clips having a retaining surface for engaging a stop provided on the outboard caliper leg to restrict radial movement of the caliper. The outboard brake shoe assembly can further comprise at least one projection for engaging the outboard caliper leg to restrain undesired circumferential movement of the caliper. The spring clips may further be configured to bias the brake shoe assembly against the caliper to prevent rattle of the brake shoe assembly.
