Easiest way to get the pistons to go inward is to use a small c-clamp which 
you can get at a hardware store.  Use a 1/2 inch or so socket as a spacer 
inside the recess of the piston.  With the clamp, you can push the piston 
inward easily.  Not sure if this relates to MGAs, but it sure works on 
Bs.  Been too long since I did anything on MGA brakes to remember if the 
front disc assembly is similar to MGBs.
