Another question is for the center bolt, do you simply bolt it in all the way and then use the nut to lock it in place..? Thank you!

The factory center bolt has a recess machined into it that carries an O-ring oil seal, which is a common leak point.
Green wicking Loctite is a product designed to prevent oil from walking up threaded shafts and leaking, it is not a thread locker, but a thread seal:

The center bolt is part of the IMS bearing assembly, and in this photo you can also see the O-ring seal:
