Actually 10am is right on schedule!!!

Should be a straight across swap, the screen is a strainer you put inline before the lift pump. Bumping the starter is just that. You hit the starter for just a second but not start the motor, and the lift pump should run for about 25 seconds. Do this a few times to build up fuel pressure and purge the air. If you don't have a fuel pressure gauge, now is a GREAT TIME to get/install one...

Be sure and either blow air back towards the tank or pinch off the line with vise grips because if you don't, you will take a diesel bath and it won't quit coming out.
