Has anyone had any experience of replacing front brake pads on a Corsa L 
1994, I tried to do it tonight but I had problems getting the caliper off.
 I released the spring clip and pushed the piston in to release the pads. 
There are two pins which the caliper slides on, how do I release these pins.
Many Thanks

pull off the dust caps on the rear of the caliper and you'll see a bolt
which requires an allen key - undo these 2 - you need to remove the
caliper you see - (not disconnect the brake pipe) then you can remove the
pads - they won't slide out as you have hoped as they have clips on the
back of them.

hope this helps

Do you know what size alan key I will need.

sorry can't remember - quite a large one - needs to be a good fit coz those
bolts are usually really tight
