Would have been good to say that coil springs should be replaced as a pair to make sure that the road handling is easy. But, a very clear video - well done.

Yes, nice and clear video showing how to changes those parts. 5/5

Did it without having to remove the wipers and the front plastic panel, just lifted the plastic enough to get at it with a spanner. On the nearside (left in the UK where I live)

Bought the OE Blisterns B4 for corsa D but they are a 19mm spanner so you end up with no nuts to fit them, had to put the old ones back on after striping down.

Could you please reply with links where I can purchase two tools shown in this video? I have looked everywhere but can not find them. The two tools are shown at 2.09 and are described on the screen as:
1. Drive Socket #18
2. Shock absorber socket #9

Thank you in advance!
