I'm surprised more of the nuts didn't stick. I didn't even see penetrant on the table. Somebody has had that fuel regulator off before maybe. Also surprised the inserts didn't crumble coming out. A friendly caution: wear a dust mask when sanding that aluminum. The dust is toxic.
Still, removing those casting marks was a good idea... it will emphasize the curves better.
