The bleeding process was pretty simple for me - I replaced the final filter at the main pump, loosened the two bleeding screws and then hand tightned them. I can reach the pump lifter lever and the bleed screws at the same time, so I could apply pressure, release screw (release air), tighten screw; repeated about four times until is all clean fuel then tightened the screws. Started right up afterwards. I didn't bleed anything at the injectors, although I didn't have air in those lines either.
