Barney Gaylord of MGA fame, once wrote a technique. I couldn't find
it on his excellent website http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/index2.htm

It had to do with a way to wedge or clamp the wheel cylinder tightly
to the backing plate by levering against the hub. One the cylinder is
tightly held, it's not difficult at all. I did it once last year
(Mini) with ease.

Paul Hunt from the MG list has a home made tool on his web site.  Should 
work for the Spridgets just as well.

Go to: Brakes and then E-clip fitting tool.
