Awesome. Well it went it that hole so should come out…. I’m guessing there’s a concretion of minerals? Fill boiler with vinegar and let sit overnight will soften up the mank so you can pull it free.
Things to replace… you’ve got it all apart, nows the time to thoroughly demineralize. Soak as much as you can with vinegar. I can’t think of parts to preemptively replace… maybe pump if it’s cheap. Maybe just break fittings free and blue lock tite so future part replacement will be easier?
