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 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.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
