There are several excellent videos on You Tube reference how to remove the action/barrel from the wood. It is really very simple. If you decide to start taking things apart like the safety (which I don't recommend!), then you can start running into problems. You can also search this site and I am sure you will find plenty of threads with excellent advise reference how to disassemble and reassemble your Enfield. You also may be surprised at what you find under the wood, such as notes and other personal items. Enjoy!
