It doesn't really take that much skill. I did it in 15 minutes for the first time with no advance reading/watching. The kits you can buy online come with a full set of tools and instructions.

I used a 2011 MBP for 6 years until the GPU finally failed, and then downgraded to a 2010 MBP. For most things, I hardly notice any issues with it being underpowered, and I intend to keep using this indefinitely until it no longer functions
