My TR3 buddy told me not to split the caliper halves too. By then it
was too late and the job he hired me for was done. He said no one ever
does it, but he didn't tell me why. I did it on my Series II also. The
only disadvantage I see is that you don't get that square o-ring in the
rebuild kit. To me it is easier to clean the calipers and rebuild if
they are in halves.

Sierra Specialty says he can sleeve the caliper pistons in brass. I
don't see the point in spending that money when new calipers are less
than $20.00 each. He sleeves all my Honda 600 brake master cylinders &
brake boosters in brass as well.

For more info on brake/clutch cylinder sleeving you can contact: Sierra
Specialty in Quincy CA at 1-800-4BRASS-1.
