Don't bother with the two halves ... get rid of them and find some rebuilt ones .... but nobody will take a caliper as a core that's been split (in my experience). A liability issue I beleive.

I have done several sets of replacements of calipers and I always was warned not to split them apart.

If you can't find good core, go to a wrecking yard and ask to buy their worst set (low cost) and turn them in for cores.

Follow everyone's advice here: they are part of your braking system.
