Finally changed clutch fluid

I gathered my courage yesterday and changed the clutch fluid. I used the bike innertube and pump method. All went well until I ran out of fresh fluid, some air entered in the system. I pushed the pedal to the floor just to check... (ok, I was starting to get desperate). Went to buy some new fluid and continued pressure bleeding, but nothing seemed to come out through the nipple. Then I swinged the pedal fore and back a couple of times, did some more bleeding, and when least expected, the pedal was working perfectly!
I suppose what happened is I pushed the piston to the other end while the system was empty and replacement fluid aperture was blocked. I guess moving the pedal fore and back got the piston to move back...
I'll do it at the same time with the brakes in the future and I will not push the pedal to the floor when the sytem is empty.
Clutch performance improved a lot. No, wonder when lookin at the dork brown fluid that came out.
