question about rear brakes

[mr. gatsbury]

I'm buying a set of rear pads online. The seller says "the rear pads are with one PIN." Is that accurate? I have no idea when it comes to this stuff...

Thanks,

as fas as I know, all newer benzes have 2 pins holding down the rear pads.

oh, it's a 1998 though. Not that new. Would it be one or two? (or eleven? lol, i really don't know these things):D

still, it should have 2 pins. i think any benz made since the late 70's/ early 80's has 2 pins holding the rear pads.

My 2000 C 230 K has ONE pin rear pads.
Most times the VIN will verify 1 or 2 pin. ;)
