'nuts and bolts' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'cracking deal it's' is the wordplay.
'cracking' indicates an anagram.

'dealits' anagrammed gives 'DETAILS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for details that I've seen before include "Small features" , "Minutiae" , "Particulars, small parts" .)
