Abstract:
1. An adjuster system for adjusting a position of a brake pad relative to a brake disc so as to maintain a suitable running clearance between the brake pad and brake disc in a disc brake, the system comprising: a manual rewind apparatus to reset the position of the brake pad when replacement thereof is required, the manual rewind apparatus including: wherein the tool is configured such that application of a torque above a predetermined torque causes the tool to fail, so that no damage is caused to the manual rewind apparatus of the brake pad; and wherein the tool is a wrench that is disengaged from the manual rewind apparatus when torque is not applied to the transmission path and the tool engaging portion is shaped such that the head of the tool received therein will fail at a torque lower than that which would cause damage to the adjuster system but permit a torque great enough to rewind the manual rewind apparatus.
