00clk320

Well guys i have another question for you, lol. I have a 2000 clk 320, and of course as all cars are the brakes pads are shot, now i know how to replace them what i need to know before i order them off of tirerack.com is which one to order they have ones with one retaining pin and two retaining pins. Now how do i know how many pins i have? thanks again!

Look through the spokes on your wheel at your brake caliper. I believe you'll see the caliper has one pin. Every CLK320 I've ever seen has had single pin calipers out back.

Thank you, you are right i have one pin. Can you tell me the difference one pin and two pins make?

They fit different calipers, and are held into those calipers by one, versus two pins. Also, I don't believe the single pin pads take electronic wear indicators. The biggest difference is the rotor size. 300mm for a 2-pin pad and 290mm for a single.
