Default 60k mile service - DIY links or advice (C4S) ???

As title states.. wife's 997 (4S cab) is quickly approaching the 60k mark and will soon need the 60k service. The recommended list includes lots of "inspect" items but the items that I'm searching for DIY's include:

- spark plugs change
- accessory drive belt change
- all-wheel drive control oil
- also, anyone have link(s) to proper torque specs for suspension/steering items like tie rod ends, sway bar end links, etc

Any help would be appreciated. Dealer generic quote is $1,259 + shop supplies and tax so figure @ $1,500. I have tools, time and typically do all work myself (just did a supercharged motor swap in my race rabbit) so that should't be an issue. Just looking for an idea of what to expect before I dig in.

Thanks.

One additional question, wifey just let me know her "service engine soon" light has started a countdown. I'm assuming disconnecting the battery wont reset this, but are there any "tricks" to reset this or do I need to just purchase the proper reset tool for $100?

Thanks again.
