Is this the normal procedure? I only ask as I am not educated on this process at all and have never done it before. I am very familiar with the concept on diesel engines so safety is the key.

I assume that there is a pressure switch that the relay also powers and hence the reason for removing the relay.

PS: You profile does not say where you are located in the world. Just
curious.
The reason to remove relay is just to gain access to sockets that relay would normally plug into, find those 2 sockets, bridge them and the pump/pumps will run, and yes thats the shop method to purge fuel or
test , you will notice there are ports at fuel distributor that you can monitor
fuel pressures with, the mercedes diagnostic manual shows how, try to find
one of those manuals.
