    There are two options, either the old style wrench or a 1/4" drive socket adapter #5P2682 available from Cat.

    You can just crack the lines at the pump, 3/4" wrench

    The tool bleeds the manifold going into the pumps and gets the air out before it goes through the pumps. The pumps are fuel lubricated. The less air / more fuel going through them the happier they are and the longer hey last.
