Reason I decided to strip it all down was that when I was having the wheels aligned poorly they told me they could see a foreign object by the hub which turned out to be a shim.Also the back wheels were seizing if left for a while and a good opportunity to check it all out.Having failed the MOT on front brake discs and being in December and going into hospital got the garage to sort it,now seemed the time!!!

Well I can report that the spring retaining clips have arrived and very quickly too via Vauxhall dealers so that's one less problem and not too bad at £7 each

Seem to be a lot easier to get and even I have set Gm but of course they don't fit but the pads they came with were handy.Seen GM discs on the bay for £30 which seemed very good

Yes that's the parts I ordered say they should be 5-10 days so we'll see as for the Delphi part it is more meaty and was a very tight fit on one side may try again when the new Bosch discs arrive

Thank you everyone for your comments I still haven't finished but parts are ordered and put the old shoes back on quite quickly and the old discs went on easy so the Delphi must be wrong in some way.Also had a reply back from my local Vauxhall dealers and they are ordering some springs from Germany so i'll report if successful.Borg&Beck reckon their pins and springs will fit but probably not like the others

The original rivet is brass as I've just drilled it out and the hole is solid enough just the poor quality rivet that gave way.I didn't think aluminium corroded but steel sure does but stronger of course.I felt to knackered today to continue so hopefully tomorrow now i'm going to check the old receipts I have out of curiosity as the shoes fitted are GM couldn't see any markings on the disc.Pads both sides uneven wear which is interesting but as I pop away and leave the car parked up and it was parked up when I bought it the rears to seem seem to seize up so this strip down when finished can only be for the good and experience gained
