I took the centre cap off and there was lots of shrapnal in there alll the bearings and bits of the castle nut :O The wheel jus fell off when i jacked her up  Does any body no what i need to put this back together, were i would get it from and prices please .

On the rear it'll probably just a new bearing kit along with the castle nut and a split pin unless it's done any damage to the stub axle or the brake drum.
I paid about £8 iirc for a non-GM rear wheel bearing kit from a local motor factors. Castle nut and split pin might be a quid or 2 from Vaux

yes but you can do it with a hammer and a big socket just knock the old one out with a chisel theres slots in the hub to do it

Rear beam is a doddle as long as the brake lines arent corroded.. best thing to do is go round each corsa in the scrappy and try and un do the brake line from the drum, if they both come undone thats the winner  release the hand brake cable from the lever (this will save you time) and then just drop the beam (four bolts).
