you dont have to bleed anything if you dont open up the fluid system. if your just swapping shoes and drums. dont even touch the fluid. drums are all pretty much the same. leave one side together because youll probably get confused, maybe not idk. its always easy to have brake tools for the return springs and retaining springs.
