Mitivac

A while back when bleeding my brakes I had a leak on one of the connections inside the front drum. Made a mess of my shoes. Would it be possible to bleed the brakes using a mitivac with the drums off after properly adjusting the brakes? I’m wondering if this would show any leaks like when the pedal is pushed but without shooting the pistons out. Any thoughts?

You can vacuum bleed them with the drums off but it won't accurately show any leaks.

After fixing your issue loosely install the drum..  push the brake pedal down hard for 3 or 4 minutes... release the pedal.. pull the drum off and check for leaks.
