The present specification describes an actuating lever (21) for a disc brake (1, 7), having a cam section (23) with a part cylindrical curved surface (25) and a part cylindrical channel (27) with an elongate cylindrical force transmitting member (29) located therein and being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the said part cylindrical surface (25), and having opposite end regions which are located in recesses (31, 33) formed in the lever (21) at opposite ends of the said channel (27) to thus retain the force transmitting member (29) in position on the lever (21). The cam section (23) engages a mating curved support surface (41) on a cover plate (37) and is pivotal about said support surface (41), the lever (21) and cover plate (37) forming a modular assembly for a disc brake, the cover plate (37) being, in use, secured to a clamp member (1) of a disc brake (1, 7), the force transmitting member (29) then engaging a tappet (11) which can exert force on a friction pad (13) when the lever (21) is pivoted about the support surface (41).
