Sorry to say, that if you can't even open the drive then you have ZERO chance of performing a head swap!
This has disaster written all over it

Could you give more information about the problem, anyhow i won't suggest you to open the drive nor change the heads, but at least we can try to address what it might be the problem.

Using a Torx screwdriver you can take the heads out

I hope none of the metal shards from using pliers or vice-grips fall someplace they shouldn't. Good luck, hope you can get there in the end
