I separated my calipers with no issues. The problem was trying to get the frozen pistons out, took a lot of break cleaner and force. Also, how could you hone the cylinder bors if you don't split the calipers? After the rebuild kit from HALLS all is fine. Don't forget to get the steel lines and throw out the rubber lines.
