My previous main machine had been a T60. I gave that up when its

At least they are easy to replace, or for other components (e.g. CPU
fan) the manual with detailed explanations is readily available (been
there, done that).
True, although "easy" is debatable. I suppose that if I could do it, it
must be easy :/, and I'm sure it's easier than with other machines.
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.
ifixit.com is highly recommended for teardowns of lots of machines
especially Lenovo, I have used it myself several times
