Hey Ryan,
It's a standard practice to remove a fret to drill holes to inject steam into dovetail cavities to loosen glue to unglue/disassemble dove tail joints. This is likely one of the main reasons that dovetail joints are made with such a cavity.
So, dovetail joint disassembly standard equipment will usually include a steamer with hose & needle.
