if you cant get the shaft out just take the bottom diff plate off and put the screwdriver between the two cv joints then the one thats not connected to the corsa hub will just pop out, thats how i do all my inner CV joints on my XE corsa when i smash them, as i dont want to get a pry bar in the diff seal as i dont want to damage another set, one of your plannetry gears might have moved or something, having the bottom diff plate off will help putting the new shafts in aswell.,

just be carefull as you will have a bit of oil coming out, and look after the gasket, i make my own after out of thicker jointing so when ever i take mine off now it doesnt break as standard is about as thick as newspaper

just seems weird, and when your next out try seeing what code is on the gearbox its down just below where the gear selector is, i'l have a look at what mine looks like as iv got to take the bottom of my diff again as iv broke another shaft so i'l compare it to mine, just doesnt look right that picture doesnt,
and well what inner cv joints to get depends on what shafts your running, eg equal length same as uprated 2.0 OR gsi shafts

equal length will be a 2 piece shaft on the offside. so the actual driveshafts are.... you guessed it. Equal length.
And never mind the forces, it will just piss all the gearbox oil out anyways and shaft the box

well then no there not equal length shafts the drivers side is one solid peice with a inner and outer cv and the passenger side is one solid peice with a inner and outer cv. Thats it. So would i use the original cav inner cv's or would the gsi ones fit?

Gaz and carl. There the 1.6 petrol mk2 cavvy inner cv's that fit the gsi shafts.
Will be ordering a set next month. Need to get the discs machined down, anyone know anyone that can do that for me?
Also jed do you need any of the screws
Ive got 25 of them. There 12p each of vaux but if your local one doesnt have any in stock you have to buy a pack of 25. Hence me having 25 of the buggers. Ill send you a cuple over if u want mate?

2.get the new cv's fitted
3.Fit shafts back on
4.Fit the rad
5.Fit the ancillery hoses
