Specifically, can they be taken apart and renewed? I have a stuck piston on my 94.

Yes they can. It has a pistion just like any other caliper and LR offers a rebuild kit for these even. Advise to flush fluid in the rest of the calipers until it runs clear after repair to remove moisture laden brake fluid from the rest of the system.

Do all the pistons on one axle while you're at it. The seals are supposed to be renewed every sixth year anyway(!). The sealkit is cheap, and covers one full axle anyway; pistons are more costly of course.
