Default Bleeding brake fluid?

Hi everyone,
I just installed some new brake pads. Now i need to bleed the brakes...but i've never done this on my car nor for a car with rear drum brakes.
I have a 90 civic si.
Do i have to bleed all 4 corners or just the fronts?
thanks
franklin

if u just replaced pads. u should not need to bleed the brakes. as long as u did it properly. u only need to bleed the brakes if u had the system open. to change pads. all u should do is compress the piston back in to the bore on the caliper. then change the pads. and re attach the caliper. there is no need to take the brake line off of the caliper.
