I made one small change to your suggestion.
Instead of cracking the banjo bolt, I pulled the return fuel line off. With the return fuel line in hand, I used my air compressor to pump air down it instead.
Obviously not opening the air nozzle full blown
but putting just enough pressure that I could hear it in the fuel tank bubbling. Within a few moments I had frothy fuel coming out of the return banjo connection... just a few seconds more and I had good non-frothy fuel running out at a good rate.
I'm still debating on cracking the lines at the injector, the manual says it should be self priming and I really don't want to crack the lines unless I have too.
Will decide what I should do when I go back to the car in a bit. Seems my battery discharged quite a bit in the last week.
