I am doing a major remodel of my house. I want to disassemble existing
hardwood floor and re-install it after remodeling. The hardwood is
solid oak sanded and finished after installation. I will sand and

this?

Not at all. Why do you want to take it out?

If it is to protect it, you'd be better off covering it with OSB until
the job's done. [though just the slightest amount of caution would
make even that unnecessary- especially since you plan on sanding it
when you're done.

Even if there are sections that need to be replaced, I'd just fix them
when the job is done-- you'll tear hell out of that flooring getting
it up.
