You said it... <g>

Actually, you won't exactly be replacing the brake fluid if you don't bleed
the rear brakes as well, until the fluid runs clear. If you're doing the
shoes and bleeding, anyway, then replacing the rear cylinders is just "one
more step"...

... unfortunately, that last step is a doozy. The retaining clips made the
top three of "nasty jobs on the MGB", last year on this list. It's up to
you...
