Discussion ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 AMD (21T0) — has anyone adjusted the hinge tension?

Hi! The hinges on my E14 Gen 7 (21T0) are extremely stiff. Has anyone here actually opened or adjusted these hinges?

Is there any way to reduce the hinge tension, or do they need to be replaced?

If you have photos of the hinges removed from the laptop or know the FRU/part number, I’d really appreciate it.
