Before you split the calipers, make sure that you have in hand the o-rings
that will have to be replaced in the calipers (that's the one and only reason
to
split the calipers, anyhow. The issue is that these o-rings are not round in
cross section, but square -- more like a faucet washer than an o-ring -- and
to my knowledge the only place you can find them is a Healey supplier (Healey
Surgeons, British Car Speciatists, e.g.)
On the other hand, as everyone notes, it is seldom necessary to split the
caliper unless it actually is leaking, indicating a faulty o-ring/seal.
