Yes. Do it only in a Class 100 (or lower -- many higher-capacity drives are assembled in a Class 50 or lower facility) positive-pressure clean room, with appropriate clothing and tools. Anything less will spell certain death for your drive no matter what.
Keep the peace(es).

Whatever you do, get a number of identical drives and practice.
FWIW there may be model differences within the same type that makes heads incompatible - think higher density or new tech incorporated into existing product line to save costs.

You got all that from Jules post? Amazing.
What magnet's'.
The same ones that you used to slide them off.
