The brake caliper has a first interior space with an opening on the side facing the brake disc for receiving an application device, and the brake caliper has a second interior space for receiving the brake disc. The truck axle with the disc brake is optimized with respect to cost and installation space, wherein the disc brake can easily be mounted on a truck axle. A brake caliper includes bolt guides, and a wheel carrier includes guide bolts that receive the bolt guides thereon. An axial space is defined within a bolt guide hole between a base of the bolt guide hole and the end of the guide bolts disposed within the bolt guide hole. The guide bolts may be integral with or separately connected to the wheel carrier.

A caliper bracket of a vehicle disk brake includes an axle coupling part, an extension part, a caliper attaching part and a swing arm coupling part. The axle coupling part is disposed on an opposite side to a disk rotor and is attached to a rear wheel axle passing through a center of the disk rotor. The extension part is extending from the axle coupling part. The swing arm coupling part is provided on the other side part of the extension part in the longitudinal direction and is coupled to a swing arm. The extension part is formed to linearly extend from the axle coupling part, and the swing arm coupling part is formed to have a cuboid shape protruding toward the opposite side to the disk rotor and capable of fitting with a coupling groove member provided for the swing arm.

A spring brake actuator is for braking a wheel of a vehicle and has a push rod assembly having a base located in a service brake chamber and a push rod extending from a service brake chamber. Pneumatic activation of the spring brake actuator causes the push rod to further extend out of the service brake chamber to thereby engage a wheel brake with a wheel of the vehicle. Pneumatic deactivation of the spring brake actuator causes the push rod to retract back into the service brake chamber to thereby disengage the wheel brake from the wheel of the vehicle. The push rod extends between a first end portion that is fixed to the base and an opposite, second end portion that is removably coupled to the first end portion so that the second end portion is manually attachable and detachable from the push rod assembly.
