Abstract
A slack adjustment system for a disk brake includes a biasing member to adjust slack in a brake system. The biasing member operates independently of pressure applied to a brake actuator. A locking member prevents adjustment when adjustment is not necessary. Release of the locking member allows the biasing member to adjust a resting position of brake pads independent of driver applied brake pressure.
