replacing brake pads, brake lines, bleed screw

I plan to do my brakes tomorrow and am looking for advice/instruction. Any specifics on the process would be greatly appreciated.
I plan to:
replace my front brake pads
replace a broken bleeder valve screw on my left caliper
replace my front brake lines
check and possibly replace my rear brake pads
adjust my parking brake (currently doesn't work)
flush and replace my brake fluid
I have:
the Haynes manual
Paragon Performance stainless steel front brake lines
set of front brake pads
set of rear brake pads
7 mm allen socket
screwdriver
replacement bleeder valve screw
bolt extractor (for removing broken bleeder valve)
can of brake cleaner
bottle of brake pad anti-squeal
caliper guide lubricant (siliconized)
What is the best order to accomplish all this in? I'm thinking it will go something like:
remove front calipers; remove and replace broken bleeder valve; replace front brake lines; change front brake pads and lubricate front calipers; reinstall front calipers; check/replace rear brake pads; adjust parking brake; bleed brakes
In doing this, will all my brake fluid naturally drain out once I have my calipers (and brake lines) removed- or will I still have to go through the elaborate bleeding process to renew my fluid?
Thanks.
