I found it fairly easy, hardest part for me was getting the silly little clips out that wedge in place - due to the rust/crap.

and im assuming a set deisgned for a corsa will suit the 2ltr calipers?

howmany should i expect to arrive in the post

some kits offer 2 and others 4 line sets?

i assume its 1 line per corner?

or do rears not have flexis?

Std corsa lines are fine for 2l calipers, They have the same fitting. 2line kits would be just fronts, 4lines would be front and rear.

One line per corner.

Hardest bit will probs be unscrewing the union from the brake pipe end. I suggest coating them all with WD40 a day or two before!

Rear has flexis, but they are on the beam, Have a look, its not hard.

Faz, you want a 10 mm spanner for this, but be careful not to round them off. I have a ring spanner that I`ve cut a slot in ( just wide enough for the brake pipe). and I put a small pair of grip`s round the out side of them befor I undo them, this stop`s it rounding off.
