So I just wanted to confirm
Split as in remove the moving part from the fixed part. These are single piston calipers so any splitting is mechanical.
It's terminology and I know what I ment, doing the job it becomes obvious as without a degree of dismantling the new pads could not be fitted.

I have split twin piston calipers to change pistons, all that is required is new O rings and a clean working environment. There is nothing magical about them, they are an engineerd item, understand the engineering and total strip and rebuild as carried out on reconditioned calipers can be done at home.
