I found an unusual (to me) situation when replacing the rear brake
pads on one of my '95 E300D. A dealer replaced the disks and pads at
some point just short of 300k mi, perhaps 2-1/2 years ago. It's now
at 352k mi. The rear brakes started making noise, so today I started
replacing the pads
sounds like maybe your brake hoses are bad and need to be replaced.
This is likely because you couldnt push the pistons in with hose hooked
up but could when you removed then.
