is there an easy way to bleed these brakes? my rear cylinders just went out and i cant get to the master cylinder.

@jhowe67 If you grab a friend you can have them pump up on the brake and hold it to the floor while you crack the bleeders to get any air out of the brake line.

Close the bleeder then have them pump up the brake again and hold it to the floor while you crack the bleeder again. Always keep the brake pedal to the floor until you close the bleeder. Repeat this process until there isn't any more air in the line. Remember to pump the pedal before moving the vehicle, so the brakes work properly.

When adusting the brake adjusters from the back of the plate, you where turning it downward to expand the the shoes outward is it the opposite on the other side? 

[1aauto]

@JGorman1 You move the tool the same way on both sides. So downward on the opposite side as well.

@1aauto except i cant get  to the master cylinder to put fluid in

@jperales29 If the car has a lot of miles on it. It wouldn't hurt to rebuild the brake components.

This looks like the same set up as my 94 Buick Century wagon.
