2017 GLS450 Rear Pad Replacement

Does anyone have the torque specs and instructions for the rear brake pad replacement?
Thank You

Long thread, but scroll down to the first posting and you'll have the instructions. (I updated the first post with any substantive material that appeared in the rest of the thread.). This is for a 2017 GLS63, but I believe that the rear brakes are common with GLS450/550.

You didn't ask about rotors. FWIW, I usually replace rotors when replacing pads, since I've gone to the trouble of jacking the vehicle, removing wheel, removing brake caliper carrier, etc.. Others do rotors with every 2nd pad service.

Thank you so much. The write up is great and very helpful. I will also be replacing the rotors as well.
