Sometimes there is a cable to adjust that has slipped.
From what you’ve saint I’m pretty sure it’s going to be something like this.
What I was taking off snapped below the surface so double nut or spot welding wouldn’t have worked. The threads turned out to be two different types and the part I was taking off was sacrificial (which I knew before I risked forcing it).
So now it’s not really important, it a what if question really.
What if I really needed to get the broken extractor out? I still don’t know how I would have managed.
I think is just one of those engineering nightmare scenarios.
Can anything drill out an extractor?

You might be abe to remove it using a screw extractor. It’s like a reverse thread screw.
Anyway once it’s out use the old one from your other caliper.
Don’t drill it.
I’ll send a link in a second of the tool I mean.

Hi no its not normal, they should feel the same after changing the pads as they did before.
If the brakes are still holding the car after you have stopped and released the peddle check that the pads are moving freely in the caliper. You may have to do some cleaning on the caliper or even filing on the pads.

Or just wedge it with a bit of wood just to hold it down slightly while you work on it.
There isn’t a gasket on there it just tightens around the thread.
And should stop trickling fluid if the peddle is slightly down. However although I said clamping hoses can damage them personally I never have damaged one so just clamp it carefully if you want to be sure.
