I don't think you need to prime as such. I've done a few coolant changes and havent stuffed anything yet.

In my car (Ae824age) it has a thermostat stopping water entering engine from radiator. So if you only fill up the radiator and overfill you won't be getting anything into pump till thermo opens. I took the top radiator hose and put the hose in there to fill up the \pump/engine side. Tighten everything up (Fill radiator with water/coolant) run with radiator cap of to bleed bubbles. Mine frothed quite a bit to start with but that is apparently just the water pump churning things up quite a bit at first (that's what I got told here anyway)

Good luck
