Hi all, I have a 2003 ml270 cdi and need to replace the fuel filter. My question is, what is the process to bleed the system after I have changed it

Thin nosed visegrips are a good idea to clamp off fuel lines first to stop any anti siphoning as well as refilling the fuel filter first.
The thin nose visegrips need to be sleeved with some plastic pipe for a soft grip.
from Amazon or ebay. Used on a few makes of cars.
If petrol disconnect battery for safety.
