10mm spanner, male torque pieces(can't remeber what size) then you just pull back the bit of plastic covering the battery

Not sure on the corsa C mate, standard size should be OK for you.

Why you after a bigger one?

well i've done it now, it already had a next size up battery in there, it was impossible to take out :/. the space in a corsa c is arkward.

i only wanted a bigger battery because the owner has the tendancy to sit with the engine off and things on draining the battery lol.

Done that once myself, train gates go down for 15 minutes at a time for 2 trains......
Forgot to turn the radio off and totally killed the battery, Not amusing pushing your car out of traffic on your own with people all watching and driving around you......
