Replacing Shaft Hub

[dream-builder]

So I need to replace my shaft seal which means I have to remove the shaft hub which means I need to replace the shaft hub.

So if I replace it with with s Split hub, does it really need to be fit and faced?

If I use a split hub is it really reusable if I ever have to take it apart again?

And if you can not reuse a split hub down the road is there really any reason to spend the extra money for one?

I have to assume its an inboard. I'm not sure if I've seen a split hub on one, and I've seen many.
