Re: Expansion tank waterlogged
Screw the big handle CCW all the way, then turn it CW. There is a left hand thread inside that allows the big handle and stem assembly to come out.
Maybe then you can get a large 6 point, or faucet socket on it. That will help to not distort the plastic. I suspect that is how they install them at the factory.

I haven't heard of the Burnham 3-pass boilers being leakers. Some of their V-7 and V-8 series were, but these were pin-type boilers.
Re: Boiler
agree with Bob @Ironman Boan on the contractor being the more important part of the job, and that Buderus is the best of the cast iron boilers, but if you are replacing the boiler anyway you should look at the Energy Kenitics offerings. they have a 🦸🏻♂️ control system that reduces the fuel usage over and above that of mere mortal (normal) controls systems

PVC & Copper DWV are nice and smooth, but are rarely reamed at installation, and those ragged, protruding lips are like fishhook on passing detrius..."All pipe shall be reamed."
