>>I think I have this whole procedure down and I'm about ready to go. However, I am a bit confused about this pump priming thing. I will not be removing the pump gear, just the pump cover right?
yes and now, with the cover the gears come out as well. Make sure you have the gears facing hte salme direction as removal. Ie do NOT flip them. the larger gear has a notch, when assembling hte gears in the housing, not only make a good mental observation as to the fitment, but also that the notch is *facing you.

>>> If so why do I need to prime? If I need to prime can I just crank the engine a few times with the fuel pump fuse pulled?
You need to prime, because the pump needs to be full of something, as it will be bone dry when you assemble it. you do not want any friction on those gears ie metal to metal. You can use heavy grease as well, just pack the gears and you should be good to go. you can pull the plugs and fuel pump fuse and crank for several seconds a few times to get hte oil flowing. After taht start it up and make sure the oil press light goes out and hte engine goes quiet.
