Thanks, Barney. That's what I have been trying, and it is loosening up some,
but still got a long way to go, I think. I'll keep at it.

Common problem. Make the seals wet with brake fluid. Use manual
push and air pressure return to cycle the things through 20 to 30
cycles, and it should loosen up nicely. Always works for me (so far).
