摘要

A sliding caliper parking brake that positively retracts both the outer and the inner brake pads upon de-actuation of the parking brake is provided. The parking brake includes a caliper body, a mounting assembly that permits the caliper body to slide on the suspension of the vehicle so that it is movable with respect to a brake rotor, and at least one piston assembly movably mounted in a bore in the caliper body and having an end connected to an inner brake pad.
