bezel replacement and link adjustment

is it difficult to replace the black bezel with the green and vice versa to change things up? or does it have to be done by the Service tech at the Rolex facility? also is there a kit sold to adjust the band on your rolex in other words is there an oem kit by rolex? not just a screw driver..hope that made sense..lol
seems my band is loose and want to remove a link or 2 since the jeweler just moved 2 links up in the band under the clasp and i want to remove them..is it hard to do ?

there are many tutorial here on the forum on how to change a bezel insert and also if you do a google search, you can use any screwdriver that is correct size to unscrew a band screw, however, you can buy a nice slotted on that does not damage the screw head on ebay or ofrei has a web site youneed 1.6mm, and some loctite 222

It's not difficult but the green bezel is a Rolex only replacement and will not change a black to green because it didn't come with the green bezel and I definately would not use an aftermarket bezel. Rikki

I did an insert swap today for the very first time. I watched a couple of videos on YouTube to get familiar with the process and also read a tutorial here on TRF. The entire process took less than 10 minutes and couldn't have been easier.
Do a search here on the forum for some expert instructions.
