[Lariat150]

Vehicle: 1988 Ford F150 Super Cab/5.0 L EFI/AOD Trans.

Questions:

1) Is a sealer used on the bolts which secure the flex-plate to the crankshaft. If so what type.
2) What is the torque specified for the above bolts.
3) How do you remove the Center bearing on the drive shaft for replacement (rubber insulator appears to be failing, and u-joint installed in yoke after it has failed).

Thanks all
