We plan to replace the 2 copper crush washers on the return line Banjo fitting. Loosen and remove the fitting and replace the washers only. Due to the line and IP end being open, is there a need to bleed the IP thru the return line when complete or will the return line pas the air w/o any problem? Still learning about these diesels.

As long as your fuel system isn't letting air in there's no need to bleed anything. The air will work its way out.
