I dont want to sound offensive or rude, but judging by the nature of your questions, you're not qualified to do a head swap.
You need experience, knowledge and tools. You don't seem to have any of the three.

I'm just hoping this is not a client's drive.

It is possible to swap heads on a recertified drive, yes, but since you're missing knowledge experience and know-how, it is VERY unlikely to have success.
