I have rebuilt many pairs of calipers, and I've always split the caliper to make it easier. They've never leaked. Ya just have to be careful not to lose the little donut washers that seal the fluid passages between the halves.

Rebuilding calipers is always cheaper than buying new ones, as long as you don't count labor. The entire OEM seal kit that does both sides is usually less than $30.
