Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

right todays job involved getting the rear done.

so

the problem, both rear cylinders have had the bleed nipple broken off at some point, so had to sort that first
there are 2 types of rear cylinders for a corsa b
1 cheap, one not so cheap, lucky me,,,,, i had the not so cheap ones

busted cylinder



new and old cylinder


so i fitted the new cylinders and the braided rear brake hoses



and then moved onto stripping the rubbish out of the arch and waxoiling it

passenger side


drivers side



next job is to possibly get a new drivers side rear bearing as it seems noisy, and spring seats, fit suspension, and front brakes finally

new tyres

todays progress,

fitted up new rear bearings, rear springs and shocks, and painted the drums,

also built my front brakes, ill have pics of them done and fitted tomorow woooo it should be on its wheels tomorow weather permitting

i still need to build engine, strip and paint interior, buy, windows, bonnet, boot, sort wiring and electric and fit engine so not even halfway yet.

todays progress thou

built up new calipers, and fitted them





and had to turn the car around, so this is how she stands atm

new tyres fitted to the wheels

Adam, who said there are 2 types of rear cylinder??

90498300 is the only one listed for all Corsa-B models (it even says ALL models).
Bleed Screw is listed seperately (P/N 24461620)

There was a modification with the bleed nipple which i think was changed to a larger hex head.

If thats the case, then the older one will have been removed and superseded by the new revision on the vauxhall EPC, and probably why I'm showing 1 single type for all models with bleed screw.

my computer system says it.

only on the 1.0 12v has this type of cylinder, its made by brake engineering and was identical to the one i removed, obviously less broken thou

looking at it a std one may have gone in, but i didnt have the time or the patience to be ordering lots of bits and returning bits.

I'd never trust a Halfords parts computer

Had fun with the local Halfords when I was bored looking for some random bits! Mainly ignition leads for the engine that was

I think should buy halfords out and bin all the poo and fill it with kitten-killing tuning goodies

right, extinguisher has turned up
