Pardon my ignorance but when changing the filters how do you bleed them ? I see no bleed screws unless you use the bolts that attach the filters. Or do you you just use the priming pump ? I am missing something.

In the photo you posted....The bleed screw for your filter base is on the secondary side of the base (right side of the photo). Above and behind the center bolt and to the right of the two bolts holding the base assembly to the intake manifold. It's basically a 3/8" NC bolt with a sealing washer. Loosen that plug/bolt (whatever you care to call it) and wait until fuel begins to run out the hole. You may want to remove it completely for faster results. Then tighten it back up and move on the the pump.
My rule of thumb is I usually fill the fuel filter on my Kubota with diesel before installing it on the filter boss (clean diesel only).
