Default Bleeding the brakes on my '90 Honda Civic DX------[HELP!!]

I am wondering how I do this exactly. A link to a set of instructions would really help. And I am wondering if I have to disassemble the rear drum brakes in order to reach the brake line valve needed to bleed the lines. Thanks in advance.

To bleed the rear drums, just jack and remove the tire. The valves is behind the drum near the top center. Be careful when loosening the valves since they are smaller diameter thread than the fronts and are pretty weak. I snapped off both of my seized valves with not much torque trying to remove after soaked in lube. That is what prompted me to get the rear teg disks. But if you do shear off the bleed valve, it probably isn't all that bad. It only requires a new cylinder, which on a 15 year old car, probably needs to be replaced anyway.
