Many people do, although Girling said specifically not to.  Note that there
is a sealing ring between the halves that should be replaced if you do split
them.  It's available separately, not included in the seal kit.

The original setup had an iron adapter fitting between the housing and tube,
with pipe threads into the housing and a compression sleeve to grab the
tube.  You need that fitting or an equivalent.
