RE: [DML] Brake Caliper Seperation

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it was the front caliper, then hopefully you replaced the square o ring
seal between them. If not it will leak and that may be what they are talking
about. Other than that it shouldn't be a problem with front or back. Also
make sure you torqued it correctly.

Subject: [DML] Brake Caliper Seperation

I just rebuilt one of my calipers last night. I put in new pistons and 
seals.  In reading my shop manual it says "DO NOT SEPERATE THE TWO 
HALVES OF THE CALIPER"  It doesn't say why.  I did seperate the two 
halves of the caliper by removing the 4 bolts with no problem what so 
ever.  I even put it back together with no problems.  

Does anyone know why the caliper should not be seperated?
