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.
