Its high time I replace the rear brakes on my '97 Lumina (3.1) (122,000 miles).

I need to replace the following:
Drums
Shoes
Cylinders
possibly the springs and what not

I have done brakes before on other cars. However, is there anything fancy with bleeding brakes that have ABS? anything i should be aware of in general?

thanks for any and all help

The ABS portion of the system is isolated from the rest of the service brake hydros when it's not operating...so no, just bleed as you regularly would a FWD, crossbleed starting from the RR wheel...
