[Tigers] Brake Caliper split seals for Tiger - FYI

[Jay Laifman]

Are we talking about the piston seal or the seal between the caliper
halves?  If the later, as far as I know, there is no good reason to split
the calipers unless they are leaking between the halves, and you are only
asking for trouble if you do.

I've never done it.  So, I don't know how realistic the trouble is.  On the
other hand, I've never had a need to do it either.
