How to Replace the Brake Pads of the Opel Corsa

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Brake pads

First, remove the wheel in question to access the brake area directly. Lift your vehicle on appropriate stands. Now, remove the cap at the centre of the outer disc. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the central bolt and remove the outer drum. Next, remove the shoes by disconnecting the springs from both sides. This allows you to extract the shoes and install the new ones, replacing the springs if they are still usable. Reverse the steps for reassembly.
