I decided to tackle the dissection of the Thinkpad T60 and replace the fan, tonight. What a horrid experience. Too many screws to remove! I hoped to be able to reassemble the machine tonight so that I wouldn't forget which screw go where, but now I realize that I need my can of compressed air (which is currently 8 kms way) and I need some thermal grease (which I need to purchase).  The Thinkpad manual mentions to use precisely 0.2 grams of grease. Too much or too little would be a problem.

The product here looks good:

So... this is going to take another week or two to finish before the thermal grease arrives.  :(
