Just put grease on the input shaft...the throwout will come greased.
Dont need threadlock it wont come loose if you tighten them.
I think there are 3 dowel pins for pressure plate..they are fixed I dont think they come out.....

YOU MUST USE A SEALER ON THE FLYWHEEL BOLTS!!!
The holes in the end of the crank that the flywheel bolts thread into go all the way through to the crankcase. If you don't believe me, once you get the flywheel off, put a small screwdriver in one of the holes and it will go all the way through.
If you don't use sealer on the bolts, over time, oil will leak out from around the bolt heads. Many people don't use sealer on those bolts and then think it's a bad rear main seal that's leaking.
I always use medium strength (blue) Loctite... never had a problem.
