Darrell,

I am not sure about others, but I did take mine  apart.  I wanted to 
replace the rubber gasket between the halves but  the main reason was 
because my calipers had quite a bit of surface rust  and I wanted to be 
able to do a thorough job cleaning the  parts


Aaron,
IMHO, you are going to be fine with those split, rebuilt calipers.  I  just 
was wondering why people split them.  I am an old school Haynes Manual  type 
guy. No instruction to split was given therefore I never did them that  way, 
even though it was tempting because it might make it easier to remove  the old 
pistons. That is the hardest part of the job to me.  I have seen  quite a few 
guys spit them including professionals.
Cheers,
Darrell
