You wouldn't happen to have the complete procedure for replacing Flex Plate would you along with checking the crankshaft end play? Wondering if it is balanced and needs to be oriented a certain way on the crank for the torque tube? Trying to find Document ID# 3746499.

Here you go:
Start and run the engine at idle until normal operating temps are reached. Idle or drive for at least 10 minutes.
turn off the engine and allow the powertrain to cool to room temperature.
have a help carefully pry the crankshaft rearward at the crankshaft pulley, before and during the tightening of the pinch bolts to ensure there is enough crankshaft end play.
tighten the propeller shaft hub clamp bolt to 96 ft/lb
check crankshaft end play at the flywheel. install the gauge through bellhousing window (make sure pin of the gauge is on the flat surface of ring gear and not the curved area) reading should be between .0381mm (.0015in) and .2159mm (.0085in)
