I've been searching for a DIY guide for rear pads and rotors for a W126 300SD but not having much luck. I thought there was a good right up on here awhile back. If anybody could provide the link or explain what is involved with changing them out, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance

Very easy and straightforward.
1. jack up car and take the wheel off
2. Loosen caliper bolts
3. compress caliper, undo bolts and slip off...hang it with a bent coathanger instead of the brake hose
4. slide off rotor (takes some muscle, make sure parking brake isn't engaged - adjust if necessary)
5. replace with new rotor
6. Slide in new pads with new hardware
7. reinstall caliper
8. bleed and you're done.

I think there is a DIY on this too, I'll dig it up.

edit: snookwhaler beat me to it!
