Hello. I got an old western-digital harddrive 2TB. It still works and I have put some data on it on purpose. I thought it would be fun to see if I can remove the headstack and inspect it under a microscope and then reinstall it. But I don't really know how.
I already found a youtube video how to make a small dust-free box with a hepa filter for my experiment. All I need now is some kind of tutorial showing me how to do what I want to achieve.

Any advice especially about wd drives that is necessary?

hddsurgery.com has many videos and PDF manuals for their tools.

Otherwise Scott Moulton has several videos where he uses ordinary tools.
