Acer Swift 3 thermal paste replacement

Has anyone been able to replace the thermal paste for the CPU and GPU on an Acer Swift 3 i5-8250U/MX150? I haven't been able to find any success stories, although I have definitely found plenty of posts complaining about the thermal paste. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, but it would be nice to have a bit more confirmation that it is.

 

Related question: if you have replaced the thermal paste, were you able to find a disassembly video? I haven't been able to find one for my specific laptop (SF314-52G-55WQ) that was in English. Although the ones I have found can show me what is being done, it would be nice to also be told what is being done. At the very least, if there is a resource for finding disassembly information, it would be really helpful if anyone could share it.

 

Thanks in advanced for any replies, and I hope you have a nice day :)

of course you're able to do repaste. And yes, most laptops have bad stock paste nowadays

Unfortunately, even with a search as broad as that, the only one I can find is in russian. It also only details how to remove the bottom cover of the laptop. I'll do more digging and see if I can find something. Thanks for your advice.
