Gauge for measuring wear of a brake pad

A gauge for measuring wear of a brake pad of a brake, the gauge comprising:

• a first component having a first longitudinal portion extending in a longitudinal direction;
• said first component further having a jaw extending transversely from said first longitudinal portion;
• said jaw having a first contact region configured to contact a first side of a brake assembly;
• a second component having a second longitudinal portion extending in the longitudinal direction and a scale portion;
• a slide configured to longitudinally slide along said scale portion of said second component;
• said slide having a second contact region configured to contact a second side of the brake assembly;
• said first component and said second component being interconnectable in a first relative position and a second relative position;
• and,
• wherein said first contact region and said second contact region define a mutual distance indicative of a thickness of the brake pad when applied to a brake caliper with the brake applied.
