Zusammenfassung:A co-axial wear adjuster and wear sensor for a brake caliper comprises a sleeve (43) having an external tooth form engageable with the toothed adjustment wheel of a brake tappet. The sleeve (43) rotates with the tappet and is threaded to engage a relatively non-rotatable but axially movable bolt (47). A wear sensor (52) is partly within the sleeve and has a plunger (54) operably engaged with the bolt (47). The bolt (47) may be tubular to carry a screw-threaded head (50) whereby the position of the plunger (54) may be set.
