Why do you need a receipt? If he can do it cheaper then get it done

at a guess you will only be changing the rear sections of the handbrake cable (the two bits that fork off to each rear wheel above the rear axle)
as these are the bits that normally wear on the corsa

and you have to have the rear drums in bits any way so the bearing can be done at the same time...

its an easy job mate even for people with little knowledge

you do the bearing at the same time as one side of handbrake cable so 40 mins max and the other side of cable 25 mins max give extra 15 mins for attaching at the front and putting the wheels back on so no more than 1.5 hours complete start to finish
