It is not your rear pads that activate the parking brake. Do you have a w126? They are like my Subaru. The parking brake mechanism is actually a drum brake located inside the rear rotor. These mini Shoes are kinda hard to find with all the hardware. Don't worry about tackling anything brake related on a MB. They are way easy. It took me longer to jack the car and remove the wheel than it takes to replace the pads.
