Which component retracts a disc brake pad?

  • A.The residual pressure valve, which maintains a small pressure and therefore holds the pads clear of the disc
  • B.The elasticity of the caliper piston seal
  • C.A return spring within the caliper, which pushes the piston back into its bore when the pressure is released
  • D.The disc runout

Answer: B

The square section seal deflects as the piston moves and its elastic recovery pulls the piston back a fraction of a millimetre. That same action provides automatic adjustment as the pad wears. There is no return spring in a normal caliper. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
