With the car level, in the air and with all wheels free, pull the handbrake on two knotches. Adust both front brakes such that they are just rubbing. Pull the handbrake on another knotch and adjust the near side rear so it too is just rubbing. Finally, pull the handbrake on a fourth knotch and adjust the off side rear so that it is just rubbing. That's how I do my similar Ulster and it gives balanced braking. If the linings are new, accept that they will take some time to bed in properly with the need to re-do the adjustment as that takes place.
For the rear axle, support the rear of the car on the rear cross member such that the axle hangs down. Fill with oil until it dribbles out of the filler hole. Use an oil syringe or simply a squeezy bottle and tube that the oil comes in. Lower the car to the ground and leave overnight with a tray under the axle to catch any further oil that dribbles. Next day, re-fit the filler plug.
