Where can I learn how to service a saxophone and can I buy any books or kits to help me?

Most techs started in instrument repair doing exactly what you're thinking of - they experimented on their own horn. I suggest though that you buy a beginner horn on eBay (or a yardsale) and learn on that.
The Erik Brand repair manual is among the best if you can find a copy. Ferree's tools is my favorite place for tools.
The National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians (NAPBIRT) has useful info on their web page about the profession. http://www.napbirt.org/home.asp

you can keep the sax clean yourself using your cloths and pull through. to service the pads you will need to take it to a music shop. they are not cheap though
