The brakes on my 94 Ram 1500 haven't worked right for quite some time. I had low fluid level, so I filled it and checked the system for leaks. Didn't find any leaks. and it has not leaked since, although the brakes don't work right yet. Since winter is here, I finally put it at the top of the priority list. I hardly ever drive it. When I tried to bleed the brakes, I was afraid I would twist off the bleeder screw, so I quit. Today, I heated the bleeder screws on the front and doused them with a mixture of ATF and Mineral spirits. I did this twice, letting it cool between applications. The third time I heated them, I used beeswax melted around the base of the bleeder. They came out without a lot of aggravation this time. I cleaned the threads and made sure the internal passages were clean and applied anti-seize to the threads and reinstalled them. Tomorrow I will try to bleed them. I just realized I need to make sure the rear bleeders are also operational. To bleed properly I know I need to start at far corner from the master cylinder and work back to the closest.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
