93 pickup brake bleeding question??

Im in middle of 4runner diff swap to 4.88's. Front is done. Im in process of rear, im only undoing the brake line behind each backing plate and park brake cable just to get axles to slide out enough to remove carrier. Where and how is best way to bleed once im back together? Thanks!

Start with the rear passenger wheel / rear driver / front passenger / then front driver.....Pump hold bleed, repeat. Keep reservoir full. This is a 2 person job.

Bleed the rear and see if the pedal is firm. When in doubt, bleed it out.

Just finished the rear swap. Bled just the rear brakes and have perfect pedal. I put a peice of rubber hose on end of each brake line so it wouldnt leak out fluid, after i reinstalled we old fashioned pumped and bled each side 3 times and she was ready to go!
