fair bit less delicate than bleeding bike brakes
Probably the most frustrating job I've ever done on bikes but this is good to hear. Will the drums be cable operated?
Turkish-
Only the handbrake is cable, the drum itself is on a split hydraulic circuit with the front
It's a bit like if you had a disc braked bike, but you have a brake lever with a reservoir with two outlets, one to the front and one to the rear, and the size of the caliper controls how much force is applied to each brake

Definitely doable by the road side but easiest if the road is flat, it's a fair bit less delicate than bleeding bike brakes. I'd offer a hand but I'm rarely in the country these days.
Here's a good video.
