Just went through the process of removing the wheels and whatnot. Just a couple of things I went through that probably aren't obvious from the DIY:

1. You can use a front stand that holds the bike up by the forks. The problem is that you have to be careful how much force you put on the breaker bar on the front wheel bolt, or else you'll end up knocking the bike off the front stand. During reassembly of the front wheel, I just threaded the axle bolt and put the nut in, lowered the bike off of the stand, then torqued it to the proper torque.

2. When putting in the back wheel, YOUR BIKE MUST BE IN NEUTRAL. You can remove the back wheel with your bike in gear, but the chain will bind and prevent you from mounting the back wheel back in.
