It ends with the owner starting the tractor and listening for purged air. Useful for owners doing this exact service themselves at home.

Unscrew the old spin-on filter, lubricate the new o-ring with clean fuel, then spin on the new filter until it contacts and give it half to three quarters of a turn more, hand tight.
No, according to the Kubota dealer and service manual the brass screen is not meant to be replaced. Clean it with diesel fuel and reuse it instead.
Open the 10mm vent plug on top of the filter housing about two turns, turn the key switch on and let the pump purge air for a minute, then close the plug snug while the key is still on.
A red floating ring inside the water separator sits on the bottom when there is no water. If it starts floating, water has accumulated and the bowl needs to be dumped.
