The instrument sounds in pretty poor condition, so there may be a lot more wrong with it than you are aware of, and that is where the work gets really challenging.
For what you are doing, the devil is in the detail. Even the question re the brush cannot be answered until a lot more is known about the brush.
IMO you should need to ask literally dozens and dozens of questions, as if you were overhauling a photocopier, a car gear box, sewing machine, etc. With expertise it is easy (but still frequently challenging); without it, it is not.
I don't think you are going to get a whole clarinet overhaul instruction manual written in this forum.
The following will answer many of the questions before you ask them, and present a whole lot more, which technicians would probably more readily answer here.
