Absolutely!  You have made this MUCH too hard on yourself.

VW says never to take the caliper halves apart, but other automakers 
that use calipers from the same manufacturer (Alfred Teves) give 
instructions as to how to disassemble them.  I take them apart when 
necessary, and VW carries the replacement rubber seals that go 
between the two halves.
