Can it be done without breaking a warranty seal?

THANK YOU
just one more.
Does it break the warranty itself?

No. Just don't break any parts when you do the work.

The warranty is void if you break something during the process, or if you do the paste reapplication poorly and that resulting overheating hoses the system. Short of that - you should be fine.

So, be careful. Good luck if you attempt to take the MacBook apart. If you are nervous about the procedure at all I would wait and see if Apple takes back the MacBooks with too much thermal grease and removes it themselves.
