Claim 17:
18. A method for assembling a vehicle brake (1), in particular a disc brake of a commercial vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
arranging a clamping member (39, 39′) around a wear indication device (34, 34′), wherein the wear indication device includes a shaft portion (342, 342′) thereof, wherein the clamping member is arranged around the shaft portion (342, 342′) of the wear indication device (34, 34′), wherein the clamping member (39, 39′) is at least partly received in a circumferential groove (346) of the wear indication device (34, 34′),
arranging the wear indication device (34, 34′) and the clamping member (39, 39′) adjacent a recess (38) of a brake pad carrier (30), and
coupling the wear indication device (34, 34′) and the brake pad carrier (30) by a linear movement of the wear indication device (34, 34′) and the clamping member (39, 39′) towards the recess (38) and along an axial direction (A) of the recess (38), such that the wear indication device (34, 34′) is at least partly received in the recess (38) and the clamping member (39, 39′) rests against an inner wall of the recess (38) thereby applying a clamping force on the wear indication device (34, 34′) in a radial direction wherein the clamping force applied in a radial direction provides a frictional clamping force; and
retracting the wear indication device out of the recess by overcoming the frictional clamping force in response to a pulling force applied on the wear indication device.
