Let me qualify that then: at least to replace the CPU fan assembly for my late R61 all I needed was a suitable screwdriver, basic dexterity, some other means to display the manual and patience. According to the instructions one should be using new screws every time, but reusing them once or twice is possible, unless the heads are destroyed in the process. There are probably tear-downs available on Youtube for those who would like to see that for themselves. Hope this helps, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
