Stupid Engine Building Advice!

keep the nut on the e shaft as much as possible. ie take it off remove flywheel, put it back.
you have no idea how much it sucks to pull apart a motor you just built because the threads got damaged, put the nut on and it will protect the threads

Better advice, once you remove the e-shaft from the motor, place it back into the flywheel and put the nut on, this will protect the e-shaft from rolling around and gettign scratched until you are ready to put the motor back together.

Get a dedicated "clean table"?
If the rebuild is going to take a while (i.e. not immediately after tear-down), we usually wrap the e-shafts with a rag or cloth.
Any serious down-time will cause those damn things to rust like a ****, so we shoot them down with oil.
