Abstract

An adjustment assembly for a disc brake includes a nut (26) and a threaded stem (28). The threaded stem (28) defines a first diameter portion (72) and a second diameter portion (76) which cooperate to form a differential area sealingly engaging an inwardly extending partition (68). The partition (68) also forms a passage (88) to communicate fluid pressure to both portions (72, 76) so that the differential area and pressure communicating passage are compactly arranged at the partition (68).
