Have any of you guys fitting these split them? If i do split them are there any internal brake fluid channels linking the two halves or is it just the single external pipe that links them?
The reason I ask is I have a sized piston and need to force it out with grease, if I take the linking pipe off and bung the end will that stop the grease going into the other half of the caliper IYSWIM?

Personally I'd just service the whole thing job done. You just don't know what the state the other pistons and barrels are like....

Thanks Buzz, i intend fully servicing both calipers but dont want to split them unless i have to as im not sure if there are mating seals. There are no mating seals in my repair kit. If i know they are solid with no internal seals then i can split them, sort out the stuck piston and get them coated but i dont want to split them and find there are seals that i cant get if you see what i mean.
Cheers

No mating seals, the fluid is passed between the inner and outer pistons via the link pipe.
