The procedure is the same regardless of whether your system is full or empty of fluid.

When you use the bleed tool, make sure there is a good head of fluid in the reservoir of the bleed tool.

You might also want to gently tap the caliper with a soft non metallic mallet so that any air which may be trapped in the caliper comes out.

If you bleed the system and the pedal is hard, but then goes soft within a few pumps of the pedal, I would have a good look at your seals as something is letting air into the system.
