1. A disc brake system comprising: a caliper having an opening at least in a front side thereof; a pair of brake pad assemblies; a brake mechanism received in the opening of the caliper, the brake mechanism comprises a brake lever, a cross bar operationally connected to the brake lever, one or more thrust plates at the cross bar and a closing plate for closing of the opening in the front side of the caliper, and whereby the cross bar is moveable by means of the lever in a plane essentially perpendicular to the plane of the brake disc; wherein the brake mechanism is of a modular form comprising two or more modules, at least one of which modules includes at least two components; and wherein each of said modules comprises a self contained unit which is removable from the opening in the caliper. 2. The brake mechanism of claim 1, characterized in that a first module is formed by a bearing bracket together with the lever and adjustment and reset shafts of the brake mechanism; and that the rest of the brake mechanism forms one module held together by a brace. 3. The brake mechanism of claim 2, characterized in that the lever is fixed to the bearing bracket by means of clips. 4. The brake mechanism of claim 1, characterized in that one module is formed of the closing plate, bellows, a return spring and the one or more thrust plates; and that the other parts of the brake mechanism form one module held together by a brace. 5. The brake mechanism of claim 4, characterized in that the lever is fixed to a bearing bracket by means of clips. 6. The brake mechanism of claim 1, characterized in that the brake mechanism comprises three modules. 7. The brake mechanism of claim 6, characterized in that the first module comprises the lever, bearing bracket, synchronization unit, and adjustment and reset shafts; that the second module comprises the cross bar and adjustment screws; and that the third module comprises the closing plate, bellows, a return spring and the one or more thrust plates.
