Seriously Arnold, the brakes are important.
They STOP YOUR CAR!!!!!
If you don't know what size of wrench to use when you are looking at the brakes, you should NOT be trying to repair them.
For SAFETY SAKE, find a helper with a tool box and some experience to give you a hand.

Depends on model, could be drum or disc. Should be able to see calipers through the wheels, if it has rear disc, unless you have full wheel covers. Otherwise, it is drum for the rear. You can plug your specific model into a parts store web site and it should tell you what is available (drums/shoes or rotors/calipers/pads) for the rear, which essentially tells you what you have. The exceptions to that rule are a site that doesn't differentiate models well, and vehicles that offer some sort of package that adds rear disc brakes without changing the model designation. In the latter case, it should list both, and you will have to use a flashlight and maybe remove a hubcap to be sure (which I would recommend, anyway), unless it is guarded by a pit bull or grizzly (or rabid chihuahua).
have some one apply the brakes and open the bleeder screw on the rr first then the lr then the rf then the lf the trick is to close the bleeder before they bottom out pedal this may take a few times at each caliper to get the air out
