All very good points, I shall put this on the back burner.  It just seemed like a sensible thing to do in isolation from all the other jobs I have on, and since my driveway is quite steep a logical step to make the brakes work for if I need to get the car out. Instead I'll just attach it to my car with a rope so I can drag it out if needed, and lower it gently back again.  I can deal with the brakes in the spring (he says, ambitiously hoping it'll be anywhere near needing them by then!!)
