You probably need a T12 torx wrench or possibly a 12mm Alan wrench, to unscrew the head stack from the top. It's a screw inside a screw design, pretty typical of all WD Black desktop drives. Right where you took out the cover screw that's in the pivot point of the head stack is where you insert the wrench. I believe that one is an alan wrench shape, but a torx fits in there as well.
