Bleed pump

What is the best way to bleed the injection pump?? The complete system from the filter to the tank has been apart and cleaned. Can't get the pump to bleed. Removed the overflow valve and primed the lift pump but no fuel exiting. Thks

Are you getting the squealing/whistling noise that indicates fuel is going through the OFV? How many times did you push the primer button on the lift pump?

The only way I know to bleed after the OFV is to crack the injector line nuts at the injectors and crank the engine until fuel comes out. (Wrap rags around the lines/injectors first, of course)
