As long as you have the correct size screw driver, it's extremely simple!

Probably a good idea to use locktite also.

Warm up the bracelet with a hair dryer before you start in order to soften the loctite.

Not too hard to remove a Oyster link. I use the SeaDweller screwdriver found on the Bay as it is the only screwdriver that I have found that fits Oyster screws perfectly; it has a flat edge at the end of the blade unlike jewelers screwdrivers.

Loctite is also a good idea. Be sure to use LocTite 222 that is in a red bottle, with blue/purple fluid. The image does not capture the blue-ish fluid.

I have a DIY posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/maintenance.htm#SD and http://www.minus4plus6.com/bracelet.htm#remove

To prevent the thread from coming loose.
There are different grades of loctite.

From memory, i think the 221 is for watch use...

To prevent screws from backing out, especially the one that connects the clasp to the bracelet (has been known to back out).
