One tool that I found helped with removing the nuts from plastics without unscrewing the post is Titan's Pinwrench. It's a thin piece of stainless steel with a 1/4" notch in one end and a 5/16" notch in the other. It's thin enough to fit under a plastic and hold the hex portion of the post while you unscrew the nut from on top of it. Marcos sells a similar tool under the name Stud-Buddy.
Sure! So the Ultrasonic Cleaner is just one I picked up at Harbor Freight, but it is pretty much identical to this one: amzn.to/4bYN06g For the Tumbler, I ordered a Berrys 500 model with an extra bowl so I could have one filled with walnut (better for removing heavy corrosion, won't polish as shiny), and one filled with corn (lighter and polishes better). For heavily corroded parts I start with walnut for 24 hours and then do corn for 24, with a spoonful of Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish in each bowl. For parts that are in decent shape, I just use corn cob to polish.

was going to make a joke about using an ultrasonic cleaner on the parts because this looked like servicing a wristwatch. then oh

Thanks for the tip! I'll pick one up the next time I'm placing an order. Definitely sounds like it would come in handy
Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Can you link the ultrasonic cleaner and tumbler + medium you use? I'm about to start my own first project on this scale
