"did you turkey baste the old fluid from the resevoir and fill with fresh before the actual bleeding process?"

I could never get a baster in the rear half of the reservoir. So I drain it from the LF caliper bleeders. The top bleeder drains the front "compartment" (or is it the rear?), and either/both lower bleeders will drain the other.

That LF location makes it easy to keep an eye on the level while draining.
Pressurizing the MC makes it quicker than gravity draining.
