AP strap change tool kit and video?

Was wondering if anyone here can point me to where I can learn to change the strap myself and buy a proper watch maker grade tool kit, so I can perform my own strap change without hacking the crap out of the lugs/case?

I'm working with a 42mm ROO.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

The stand is to secure the one screw on one end of the strap, while you utilize the screwdriver to remove the other screw (on opposite end of the strap.)

One screw needs to be held in place, otherwise the bar inside continues to rotate and you cannot remove one of the screw caps, which is required in order to slide the bar out from the strap and lugs.
