A vehicle brake assembly includes a disc that rotates about a lateral axis. A caliper is mounted to a non-rotating vehicle structure and supports a pair of brake pads that are positioned on opposing sides of the disc. An air chamber provides an actuation force for the brake assembly. A first actuator applies a force in a first direction parallel to the lateral axis to bring the brake pads into engagement with the disc during a braking operation. The air chamber includes a second actuator that applies a force in a second direction transverse to the lateral axis in response to a vehicle input. An adapter is operably coupled to the first and second actuators to translate the force applied in the first direction to the force applied in the second direction. The adapter includes a housing that is mounted to the caliper and a lever that pivots relative to the housing. The lever has one end connected to the first actuator and another end connected to the second actuator. With the use of the adapter, the air chamber can be installed in any of a plurality of installment positions that extend radially outward from the lateral axis.
