I can't understand the above post. 
Unless the hub has been taken out for a Harry Hockley conversion then any front Corsa bearing is fine as the drive flange on the GSI (if using GSI shafts) is the same OD where the bearing is a tolerance fit as a turned down Astra GTE drive flange (thats all a 'Big block' hub is).
No point buying new hubs for it if thats what you are getting at as you will struggle to do it yourself, even with an oven a freezer, a big socket and a fuck off hammer!  Just pay someone to press the old ones off and the new ones on.
