how easy is this? and anyone got any tips or anything for when i come to do mine sat?

easy mate took my bro 2 mins to change mine.....but he was a vauxhaul mechinc

im qualified mechanic..but not changed corsa rear springs before lol..i have no doubt that i cant do it,just thought if anyone has some tips to make it easier it would be good lol

Dead easy Dan.
Easiest way to do it at home would be.
1 side at a time.
Use a trolley jack, Jack the beam next to the strut, Undo the strut top nut
and let off the jack. Spring will drop out. Replace. jack back up the beam replace top nut
and repeat on other side.

i find it easier to jack the car up 1 side and take out the bottom bolt on the strut, then just pull the bean down and take the spring out, fit new one and then just push the beam up to put the bolt back in....you can change both in under 10 minutes

cheers..sounds easy enough lol

jack the car up using the rear beam then support the sides on axle stands then slowly lower the rear beam till they fall out being carefull nt to snap ur brake lines.

if they dnt drop out undo the bottom bolt on the struts and then lower the beam some more and they will fall out

sounds more complicated than i know its gonna be lol.

You'll manage it easy Dan. If you get stuck give me a shout.

tbh dan if u cant do it u dnt belong near a car

thats what i mean,i know its gonna be easy enough,but that guide makes it sound complicated lol

tbh dan as soon as u start url see how to do it its common sense

yeh,i only had a quick look and figured how its gotta be done.fronts were piece of piss to do as well.

guide would be better with pics, i did mean to upload em, sadly i had a computer crash and lost em, soon as i can get em back il update it

but it is really easy to do anyway
