I recently recently replaced the rear pads on my CLK320.

There was 1 pin, just like in this video.


I also replaced and bled the brake fluid, useing the gravity method, which worked fine.

Beware: For some reason, MB engineers thought it was unnecessary to put any brake pad wear sensors on the rear axle. Go figure.

Super thanks but after a deeper investigation/ cross checked with dealer I found mine actually is model with 2 pins
Most annoying thing is finding Drilled & Slotted disc roters looking for
DRILLED & SLOTTED* BRAKE ROTORS + CERAMIC PADS
has turned out to be more difficult than estimated lol..

The thing is mine is CLK320 Coupe year 2000 WITH 2 PIN PAD REAR CALIPER
and is just impossible all the kits available for models WITH 2 PIN PAD REAR CALIPER only exists for up year 1999 models all others above are 1 pins but of course my car just have to have the 2 pins calipers grrrr...
But thinking long and hard about it what difference can there be from a 1999 - 2000 Brake Rotors are 10mx300mm front and 290mm rear..
What you recon ?
will talk with my contact at local AMG dealer..
Even looking up VIN NO in Mercedes EPC gave me nothing but again 2 choices lol really weird..
But taking wheel of now gotta have close look I find it weird if mine is the only one with 2 pins year 2000 model..

Just in case and super thanks for the video doing all 4 total rebuild inc new powder coated calipers
