My $0.02.. I had brake line issues on my 91 last summer. The rears were the smaller bleeders, 5/16. They were a pain but some PB Blaster overnight and a socket got them out. As for the lines, replaced both along the rear end. The one from the pressure switch was great except one spot. Used a cutting tool, double-flare kit and some new unions and works fine. I got a pretty good double-flare kit for under $25 but if that's not in the budget some parts dealers offer "loaner tools" I have not used that service but they take a fully-refundable deposit to make sure the tool comes back, but it's great if you don't know anyone with a flare kit you can borrow.

Incidentally the front bleeders were too much. Couldn't really get a bite on them, so I just took the calipers off and replaced them with remans. Let someone at the factory play with the easy-outs and drills, etc. But you don't report any front brake issues so the above is just FYI
