Make sure your fret boar on both sides of fret is protected.

Once I change these strings it'll never sound the same again.

I learn on cheap ukuleles. When I moved up to a more expensive uke I had the dealer set it up and I hate to even change the strings on it cause it sounds so good the way it is. Like Penny. I just love the way she sounds. I don’t want to mess with anything on her. I’ve thought about taking her to shop just for string change. She’s just so comfortable the way she is.

I’ve fixed scratches, dings, even glued  up a pretty smashed up ukulele. I’ve changed out tuner heads and bridges and nuts. File lots of fret ends.  I don’t think I’d feel comfortable taking off a neck.

(I usually don't look at Stew-Mac because I know I'll find all kinds of things I need/don't need. But I'll do it for this, LOL.

                         i would leave it to an expert.

It’s not hard with YouTube. I wouldn’t attempt to remove a bridge or reset a neck. My ukuleles were my practice/testing zones. The all needed major set ups except one I bought from a Hawaiian dealer and they do a custom set up
