Remove the retrun line from the pump at the filter.
use a vacuum pump and draw fuel up and fill the pump.
sTICK YOUR PINKY OVER THE OPEN TAIL ON THE FILTER.
I hate caps lock me.
Hey presto injection pump full of fuel, hard bit done.
Just remember, it could be much worse, you could own a WBX.

That's good news then. Apart from having to take the sump off of course.
