you don`t need to remove the rear main seal housing. you just have to pry the seal off of it. i use a screw driver to pry the seal out. be careful not to scratch the surface of the crank where the seal comes in contact with. as far as the bolt, you can re use the ones that you have now. unless you are missing some. the size i believe is m8x1.5x20mm.

Yeah stock clutch bolts work for the cover, i have that same clutch (4 puck unsprung) its great.
The rear main seal is held on with like 6 10mm bolts, 2 of wich are on the bottom also holding on the oil pan. But like rcdad123 said you can do it without removing it.
