Thanks all.
Howard - ironically, I'd just whacked the half shafts nuts up as tight as I possibly could before starting to look at the brake levers! And I think it might have been something Ruairidh said or wrote somewhere about "don't disturb things unless you really need to" which I didn't really understand at the time, but after spending the last three months faffing getting the engine running again (after deciding it would be a good idea to try and sort out some minor water leaks) I think I now understand... and so it may be that I do do the relieving of the carrier purely because I'd like to be trying to use the damn thing rather than (even more) groaning in the garage!
It will of course be another weight saving technique, which has to be good :-)
Any one got a photo or remember this being covered in a previous thread?
