Yes, it's a fairly easy job. When you turn ignition to pos. 2 electric fuel pumps activate and the system is self bleeding. The pumps run for 1 minute if engine is not started. So after 1 minute turn ignition off and back to pos. 2 to activate a new round just in case before you actually start the engine.
