Did the washer fluid float to the top? If so, it might be a good idea to suck it out before it gets flushed through the system. I don't know if that will make a difference, but it can't hurt to put less washer fluid through the system during the flush.

I'm not sure, but I think the brake fluid floated to the top. My brake fluid and washer fluid were both blue. Changing the brake fluid to gold to see that it all flushes.
I sucked all I could get out of the reservoir, then disconnected the lines from the master cylinder to drain it.
Taking it slow and step by step today with lots of breaks.

Tip: Do not put much torque on those little screws that hold the rotor to the hub. Just put some loctite on and snug it. With the wheel on, it is not coming out anyway.
Getting mine off today, one stripped out and had to be drilled.

I actually used anti-seize on my screws, they had enough built in loctite-ness that I could barely get the out...
