FYI, be careful not to over-tighten the screws for the burp valve. They are easily stripped. You can also order the valve's two O-rings to rebuild your existing valve.

What do you think is appropriate good fingers around extension tight or good screwdriver handle twist? I can’t find any DIY videos or info on replacement and torque really...

Nut driver, hand tight. Just be aware that you are going into plastic. I think I was using a 1/4" ratchet initially. I felt the first one starting to pull when I was reassembling. I was just replacing the O-rings and found it helpful to tighten the screws in a crisscross pattern (think wheel lug nuts) to keep them in place.

Thank you - will be very careful, check for leaks, then tighten further if needed
