Hi, can anyone help? I have a clk 320 convertible on a 51 plate and my piston has seized on my n/s rear caliper, replacement has arrived but it has 2 pins holding the pads in place instead of the 1 pin type that I have, will this fit and work until I get the right one if I buy a set of 2 pin pads? Kind regards, Shaun.

If you buy the one pin pads it will work but take it easy as you might have unbalanced rear braking with one side new pads other side old pads.
Had the same problem when I bought new rear pads from the dealer after giving them my VIN number. Gave me single pins and when I removed the wheels saw they were double pin pads!!
Just to add, to ensure you do not have a repeat of the piston seizing problem I would advise that you change the brake fluid every 2 years.

Then it shouldn't be a problem - the calipers should have the same piston diameters.
