Advice on 999R front wheel removal?

Need to remove the front on an 'R' and was wondering if anybody had any tips/outlines on the best way to do it? (The R has different calipers to the base 999, and I'm not sure what tool is needed to remove them).

I think basic procedure for removal is:
Unbolt mudguard (8mm socket?)
Remove calipers (via 8mm allen bolts?)
Slacken pinch bolts on fork bottoms (12mm socket?)
Undo spindle nut (28mm socket?)
Use toolkit wrench to pull axle out from right hand side and tap it through from the left using a dowl.

Any tips for reinstalling? I'm concerned that all the bolts be torqued to correct spec but I can't find any figures.

Any help, tips, advice much appreciated!!
Cheers,
Rob
