W209 Replacing rear parking sensors - how easy?
I have a 2003 CLK55 that has an issue with one of the parking sensors. The paint bubbled and as a result it was giving incorrect distance readings. I have cleaned all of the paint off and it is working fine, but now it needs to be painted.

My question: How easy is it to remove and replace the sensor? If it matters it is one of the two central sensors on the rear of the car.

I can buy sensors in the correct colour for very little money on eBay and I am thinking that would be easier and faster than spraying base/colour/clear and risking making a mess of the bumper.

They're actually really easy. If you get up under the back of the car they're very easy to access.

To confirm, does that mean I do not need to remove the bumper?

Thanks for getting back.
