Fuel pump replacement

Once I have my new fuel pump all back together, do I have to bleed the air to prime the pump, if so how?? Should I fill the fuel bowl prior to turning the engine over?

Just make sure you don't have any dirt in the filter housing.
found out sun that I had got some junk in there, and that's what's been tripping my water in the fuel light.

air in the fuel won't hurt the injectors... it'll work it's way out pretty quickly.

I don't see an issue with it. There are oil passages to lubricate the injectors, the fuel has lubricating properties but is not needed to lube the injector...
