Brake Pads

I have GLC 63 AMG with silver calipers are they ceramic pads or semi metallic I know they are not the carbon ceramic cause the calipers are not gold just trying to see what is on the car dealer wants like 6-700 for pads I can't believe that the pads are that special to cost that much. a little info would greatly be apricated.

Change to the Disc Italia ceramic hyper ceramic pads. They are way lower dust and works great. Also, brakes on the GLC63 are super easy to do yourself if you are even just a little handy.

so those are carbon fiber-ceramic (Z26, Z23) pads is that what OEM are ? or does it not matter if you change material pads are made of. front rotors are measuring at 35.32 mm so them telling me I need rotors also I feel is BS as 34.0 mm is the min. I have such a hard time trusting Mercedes mechanics, I can do most work and have done most work on my vehicles over the years ( Ford, Chevy, Honda, VW, and now Mercedes) thanks for your input.

FCP Euro for your replacement rotors/brake sensors when you need them. I changed mine out at 40k with the Powerstop Carbon Ceramic pads. Price was right and did it myself. Plenty of youtube vids and info on the net to make it happen with a little time and patience.

Brake jobs are big revenues foe dealers . If you did the job on other vehicle then do it your self on your GLC , I was going to have the dealer replace my pads but when they gave me a quote ,I say WHAT !
I end up to buy Italia ceramic . Great , no noise .

nope, its a different compound , oems r made by brembo and its their ancient like mammoth poops semi metallic GT ferodo formula, pros - it has very good initial bite at any temp, pretty reliable and can take some track abuse but cons r - hella expensive, extremely dusty ( corrosive dust ) and noisy at times., not really gentle on the rotors. carbon ceramic pads are dirt cheap , last around same , need some small warm up to bite well, cant take extended track abuse, they may take some heat but gna burn faster. So if u arent a track junkie cc pads are really good pick for daily driven car .

Gotcha, thanks mate. 👍 I don’t track mine and have no intentions of doing so yet, I do spirited driving from time to time. Nothing exaggerated or reckless, I say just normal spirited driving…😂

GLC rear brakes

I have a 2022 GLC 43 SUV. I replaced front and rear brake pads with DiscItalia. They are excellent! Quiet, very little dust and excellent stopping power. I replaced the rear rotors with PowerStop drilled and slotted. The brakes were very easy to replace. The hardest part was reinstalling the wheels. Wheel guides are a necessity.

You can just use the steering wheel controls to retract in. I don't remember the sequence but I just Youtubed it and it was straightforward.

I think I used this one:

If you have the late model AMG steering wheel, hit the ignition switch but don't start the engine, find and display the mileage/trip info on the screen. Then press and hold both the Home button and the button for the cruise control. The service screen will open and the brake item will be open. Scroll to the brake item and hit the enter key. It may take a couple of tries, just be patient. I was able to hear the brake motors running for a short time. Turn the ignition off and change the brake pads and/or the brake rotors. Spreading the brake pads is easily done. Afterwards, turn on the ignition and follow the screen prompts to exit the brake menu. You may hear the brake motors running again. Hope this helps.

Phil

This set does not come with the; one would think, obligatory brake sensors!?

Do you use the same sensors or replace them by buying them separately? Cheers.

How did you reset the computer once the new sensors were in and brakes were done? Is that just a simple steering wheel butting config into the maintenance menu?

Hi Rocky04,

If the brake sensors are not damaged, you can reuse them. I did. Be careful removing them from the old brake pads. Sensors are only on the passenger side brakes.

Sensors are about $10 at RockAuto.

Hey lads, what is the correct brake rotor size for the GLC 63s? Without being able to measure ATM, is it 360mm or 390mm (metric system).

Surprisingly when I google this, F all seems to show up other than a slew of random semi-associated sites that have no exact baring on the query.

Looked at www.ultimatespecs.com for my car, which shows 390mm yet eBay seems to show them at 360mm and I can’t F remember because I’m old with a trash memory.

cheers.

Anyone have the various torque settings for the Fr/ Rr hardware for the caliper etc. I think the front caliper hub is 160nm but the caliper to the hub I’m unsure or as well as the rear hardware settings.

DIY is pretty simple, the problem for me is finding the space to do it.

thanks lads.
