just cycle the key (without cranking) until you hear the pump stop. At first, it will have lots of bubbles that you can hear. keep doing that six or eight times. Find the schrader valve on the fuel cooler adn with the ignition on, push the valve. likely air and bubbles will come out. keep cycling and poking the valve until straight fuel comes out. then try and crank the engine.

Perfect! Do I need a bleed tube on the back banjo bolt of the Fuel Cooler as well or just the valve?
