Abstract

In a spot-type disc brake assembly with an electric friction lining warning device and a bleeder screw, a warning contact plug is supported at the brake caliper by using a holder. The holder is fixedly attached to the bleeder screw and has tongues that abut against the brake caliper. The tongues are a safeguard against the holder rotating relative to the caliper and position the warning contact plug on the brake.
