Default Replacing all four pads on my 996- any tips?

Looks like I'm changing out the brake pads on all four corners on my 996. I've got a F/R set of Mintex pads and electronic sensors on the way to my house. I'm going to stop by Sears and pick up a nice floor jack, breaker bar, awl/punch, then pick up a six pack of good suds somewhere in the village. Looks like Sunday am will be dedicated to the pad swap.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on making this process easier? I've obtained DIY from Renntech.org and I have to admit it appears to be quite easy:

Drink a beer.
Remove the wheels.
Drink a beer.
Remove the pads.
Drink another beer and snack on a cold piece of pizza (not on my low carb diet, but screw it)
Replace the pads and sensors.
Replace the wheels.
Drink another beer and fart around for an hour feeling proud.
