Yeah I was not going to split them originally as they did not leak or anything but the caliper seal kit came with them so I thought may as well.

same thing i did for my HJ60, kits came with them so we split them. Mae working on the pistons a hell of alot easier.

for my FJ45, kit didnt come with them, so i didnt split them.
