Get someone to turn the engine over whilst you crack the nut on the back of the injectors, do them one at a time and wear eye protection as diesel will spurt out when the line is full, I would suggest you start nearest the fire wall because the engine will try to run on 3 cylinders before you are finished, you will still need to bleed the rest of the injector just be careful not to get caught by any moving parts doing the last couple.
Once it's running rough you can stop cranking, obviously.
If you ran completely dry now might be a good time to change your fuel filter as well, just in case you have picked up some muck from the bottom of the tank.
Should take less than 5 mins to be running again, good luck
