Shimano XT brake caliper service parts
After cleaning my bike in the wake of today's decidedly damp Manly Dam ride, I discovered I have a sticky piston in my rear brake caliper.
I figured I might as well do a full service and replace the piston seals, but have drawn a blank in my web searches.
Was also wondering where to get the 5-sided driver to get the alloy insert out of the one-piece caliper so I can get the pistons out to clean the bores.
Any clues? 
Not so hot
Been off the bike for a while with a bad back. This was the first ride where I pushed for a time. Amazing how quick fitness drops off. Was on target to go under 35 minutes a couple of months ago.

All good... Nice and dry except for a couple of sections after the creek that are always wet.

Ourimbah State Forest update for 10 Jul
Dry apart from one boggy hollow just before the 'G-Out' in the Lost Forest (take the right and treat it like a berm), and one muddy part in the Graveyard which has a dry line through it. So many new lines around the place, and quite rutty, rocky and rooty - much more challenging these days!

The Oaks update for 09 Jul
The Oaks is dry and fast. The single track at the end ROCKS!! - Look out for the frog in the middle of the track about half way!

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Emu Plains Station carpark (two before Glenbrook to catch an extra downhill at the end and secure a place on the train before the Oaks mob boards at Glenbrook) to catch the 08:13 train up to Wentworth Falls.
Rescheduled after the %%$^%#$ weather reports advised about the winds scheduled, and the tracks are probably covered with fallen trees.
The pace will be "brisk social" - This will mean a couple of stops will happen at the creeks and the helipad, though besides that I want us to be able to move along at a fairly rapid pace, so it'd be preferable to ride with people with a higher degree of fitness.
