Is it not like the older vauxhalls where you just push the 2 pins through, push the piston back, slide in the new pads, then put the pins & clip back in??

If so it should only take 1 hour max (thats with jacking it up,taking wheel off ect...)

go to halfords armed with £14.99, ask the kind sales man to get you a corsa haynes manual. then turn to page 9.4 and it tells you exactly how to do it, even with pictures.

one clips into the piston, the other just slides in. very quick job, you should be able to do it in 10 mins per side.
