Done similar in the past, now I just get a food baster and suck the fluid out of the resevoir, add fluid run engine a little move steering wheel a little, push on the brake pedal a little then do it again. Do it till the fluid you are sucking out looks kind of like the fluid you are putting in, then you're done.
