Logic Board Replacement for A1466 MacBook Air

I just came into a MacBook Air (2015) that needs a replacement logic board that I just purchased used (but with warranty). I’ve never done this type of replacement and I’m honestly recessed mixed messages about how difficult this replacement is. Is this something that I do myself (with the proper tools)? OR should I return this logic board and have Mac do the replacement for me? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

You will also need to re-apply thermal paste too. I included a link to thermal paste and thermal paste remover and I also included a link on how to re-apply thermal paste
