Abstract
A disc brake for use in automotive vehicles is disclosed including a hydraulic brake actuating and a mechanical brake actuating device comprising a thrust member for axially operating a hydraulic piston in response to manual rotation of an actuating shaft in a bore in the brake housing. The shaft is axially retained in the bore by an eccentrically positioned recess in the shaft and projection on the bore extending over only a portion of the shaft circumference and bore. The recess defines radial boundaries for engaging the projection to prevent axial movement and the eccentric relationship causes axial movement of the thrust member for operation of the brake piston.
