Question Replacing Delivery Valve Seals - Proper Priming method?

The #1 Fuel Delivery valve is leaking a significant amount of fuel. I ordered the special socket tool and replacement o-rings, copper seal rings and springs. I've never done this before and have searched/read the archives and found some great tutorials. I'm pretty confident that I can do this however I'm wondering about priming the lines after I put it all back together. Is it correct to leave all 6 lines cracked a little at the delivery valves and turn the engine till they spit? Should I only do 1 at a time? Do I need to do something to ensure the car doesn't start while I'm bleeding the lines? I'd appreciate hearing from the experts here.

Thanks

Crack all six at the injectors.

Crank it with your foot planted on the floor.

When you get fuel from the hard lines........at the injectors.........get out and tighten all the hard lines back up to the injectors.

Return and start it up.
