The metal clips are there to warn you the pads are getting low.

Its a simple job of removing the 2 bolts tolding the caliper on (the ones which bolt into the rubber flexi things) then the pads just slide out. When you re-fit the caliper you'll need to compress the cylinder then the caliper just slots back on and you tighten the 2 bolts you took out

About 20-40 quid from most garages inclusive.

If you do it yourself you'll need a manual - borrow an old haynes corsa B, I would expect they are almost the same :)

Please Help Me!!

Does anyone know how to change the Pads on a Corsa C? Mine are making the most horrid squeling noise. I guess this means they need changing.

I dont want to pay vaux to do it!
