Hi, could someone give me step by step instructions on how to replace the front spring on a corsa c. I found plenty for the corsa b but struggling on the c, it only appears to have one nut at the top. any help would be great,

Exactly the same bar undo that one nut to separate the top of the strut from the chassis.
Oh, and a ARB is on connected to the strut. Undo that whilst using a spanner at the back to stop it spinning.

Basically what Scotty said.
Instead of having the two studs either side of the top mount, there's a up/plate that is held on with the nut on top of the piston. Undo that and the ARB droplink then it's the same as for a B.

thanks for the replys, so I presume from what has been said is that the top nut is just holding the struct to the chassis, once undo the assembly will come out complete and the spring can be compressed and removed away from the vechicle (ie the top nut is not part of the assembly that compresses the spring). Any pictures/diagrams would be great.
