The easiest way I have found to bleed brakes it with 2 people one in the car and the other doing the dirty work but on all the brakes the caliper there is a bleeder valve on the back side and on the rear if its drum it should be where the wheel cyclnder is it looks like a grese fitting but you pump them and have the person hold the brake pedal as you crack the fitting air should come out as well as fluid best to start with the farthest away from the master cycl. So rear right do it a few times to each wheel the pedal should go hard I have always done it with the car not running you will need a bit of extra fluid to make sure you dont let any air back into the lines while bleeding them
