All above plus pull frt. calipers and service slide systems also remove drums and confirm rear wheel cylinders Ok both directions + adjusters free and wound out as far as possible but you can still get drums on/off.
Next, elevate rear and bleed system, RR first on to LR and RF w/ LF last also if weak pressure bleeding, consider flex lines may be internally collapsed whether they look good externally including rear flex if low/no pressure @ wh. cyls.
Best of luck!
