Abstract
A visual wear indicator for a brake system generally comprises an input shaft rotatably mounted in a housing. The input shaft is coupled to a rotating part in a brake adjustment assembly. The input shaft is connected via gearing to a marker which rotates relative to a face in order to indicate the level of brake wear.
