I bought my last set of strings though http://www.oudstrings.com/
Search you tube for 'how to change Oud strings', not any worse than a guitar
This site is also useful... http://www.oudcafe.com/stringing_and_tuning.htm

I found Navid Goldrick's video very helpful
http://www.oudforguitarists.com/how-to-change-oud-strings/
For the strings try Pyramid orange label arabic oud strings which are low tension and good for older instruments which can't withstand too much
pressure
Great tuturiols on video that I have found invaluable are found here:

Enjoy!

I have an Arabic oud, and a lot of people recommended the LaBella strings, so I bought the Arabic Oud Strings FADGC'F' set from OudStrings.com: http://www.oudstrings.com/index.php?route=product/category&path...
And, they have other brands if you are looking for something different.
I agree with Leila; Navid video is extremely helpful.
I'm not sure about the mechanical violin pegs, but I think the oud pegs are very similar to the violin pegs so you should be able to take your oud to
violin repair shop and see if they can take a look at the pegs and see what's wrong.
Good luck.
