Open the bleed screw on the filter pull out the stopper and crank the engine until diesel comes out bubble free. Close bleed screw use primer pump to get diesel to fuel pump. open throttle fully push in button on the stopper on the fuel pump and crank the engine again.

ta, no primer pump on this one, so no need to open any injectors then

Should be a little screw on the side of the injector pump. Screw it out and prime till all the air is out. Is it the original engine?

Is it an inline or rotary pump?

This video explains it only don't go tightening the injector nuts with your hand as diesel is coming out at pressure, use a spanner. Usually you only need to loosen the front injector nut.
