ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle disc brake having a support structure (1) defining a cylinder base for a piston (2) for actuating a pad assembly (6, 7) the assembly is retained in place by a retaining plate (10) having projections (11) which engage in recesses (9) in the pad assembly and an integral, resilient finger (12) having at its free, outer end a shoulder (13) engaging the piston (2) and a projection tab (14) which facilitates flexing of the finger to disengage the shoulder (13) from the piston (2), thereby releasing the plate and the pad assembly for removal from the support structure.
