My master brake cylinder was full of not very clear brownish brake fluid. So, I removed all the fluid and cleaned the inside of the master cylinder. That way, I had clean 'clear' brake fluid for a good flush of the system while bleeding it. I'm pretty sure the so called brake fluid that was in my system was near original and very contaminated.

Welcome back. Tires would be my first guess. Maybe some weights fell off?

No it won't work. Different spline count.
