Can these still be bought brand new ?

How hard are they to change over ?

Mines are rotten through lol and when the handbrake is put on they seem to catch on something making a grinding noise

Thanks, Vaughan :)

they are held on by torque bolts from the back of the hubs and probaly need heated to get out. i guess too corsas are the same rear brake set up :thumb:

You'll need new stub axle retaining bolts when you fit them.

No problem aslong as I can get the backing plates

Should be able to get the bolts from Vauxhall still ?

Bolts are alright if wire brushed off & threadlocked.
