Malcom,

I always split my MG calipers when I rebuild them, MGAs and MGBs.  It is 
fairly impossible to install the new rubber  and metal retainer parts unless 
you split the calipers.  I rebolt them back up again by using new grade 8 
bolts, and new caliper sealing washers (available from Shadetreemotors).  I 
use blue Locktite on the threads and touque the new grade 8s to whatever the 
recomended touque is for grade 8s of that diameter.  Never ever have had a 
problem.
