corsa c axle to b

[pdrpaul]

Hi will a corsa c rear axle fit a corsa b?? heard may have to file a hole to allow corsa b larger flexi hose to fit or something.. but that they are essentially the same axle and straight swap?? this true:)

a corsa c axle onto a corsa b swap but the bushes are too big for the brackets.
If it's the rear discs your after it would be better to do a disc conversion

When I was replacing mine I looked at the c back axle and they were near identical but I seen enough small differences that I didn't risk it but I have heard they fit

thanks so if I was to use the c rear axle I would have to put new bushes on etc. Seems nigh on impossible to buy a rear corsa b axle that aint destroyed with rot... not looking for a disc conversion mate just a replacement
