Claim 13:
14. A vehicle comprising:
a wheel; and
a wheel brake arrangement connected to the wheel, the wheel brake arrangement comprising:
a brake pad arrangement comprising a brake pad;
a brake disc connectable to a wheel of the vehicle for reducing the speed of the vehicle when the brake pad is pressed against the brake disc;
a caliper, at least partially housing the brake pad arrangement and the brake disc;
a retainer bar connected to the caliper, the retainer bar comprising a first portion having a longitudinal axis extending across the brake pad arrangement and the brake disc in an axial direction of the wheel brake arrangement, wherein the retainer bar is disconnectable from the caliper, wherein the retainer bar is arranged radially above, and at a circumferentially central position in relation to the brake pad arrangement; and
a resilient member connected to the brake pad arrangement and to the retainer bar, the resilient member being tensioned when the brake pad is pressed against the brake disc for urging the brake pad arrangement in a direction axially away from the brake disc when releasing the brake pad from the brake disc wherein the resilient member is a resilient spring, the resilient spring comprising a first and a second spring leg arranged in a V-shaped configuration, wherein the first and second legs are connected to a first and second axially extending side surfaces of the first portion of the retainer bar, respectively and wherein the first portion of the retainer bar is arranged in a tapered shape with a decreasing width in a direction towards a position of the resilient spring.
