Maybe but having released the clamping pressure on them, I'd be concerned about the possibility of oil leaks from the feed holes in the base of the cylinders (rear cylinder has an 'O' ring the front just the metal gasket).

It'd be a bit of an arse if you put it all back together only to have to open it again to sort it out...
