honestly, I can't remember of ever hearing of any car not having re-buildable calipers. Maybe some exotics?

This caliper is unusual in the sense it is a 2-piece design with a internal crossover tube. Most 2-piece calipers have external lines. This is the problem with incorrectly disassembling and reassembling them.
