DISC BRAKE AND PIN ASSEMBLY THEREFOR ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A disc brake assembly provides a torque member which is juxtaposed with a rotor for the purpose of movably supporting a caliper. The caliper cooperates with a pair of friction elements to urge the latter into engagement with the rotor during a brake application as the caliper moves relative to the torque member. In order to movably support the caliper relative to the torque member, the torque member and caliper include a pair of matching slots for receiving a pair of pins. A pair of split cylindrical sleeves are also received within respective slots to engage the torque member and caliper. The sleeves define bores which receive the pins to form a clearance therewith. Consequently, during a braking application one of the sleeves is contracted radially to transmit braking torque from the caliper to the torque member via the one sleeve and its corresponding pin. The sleeves and pins maintain the caliper in spaced relation to the torque member at all times.
