Will be a delicate job as you will need to pull the platters out too, but at least if you practice on the one you buy you can be prepared for the one you are repairing.
If it's a really old HDD, obviously will be harder to get a spare unfortunately.
Or, if the arms are too hard, change the PCB and platters over into the one which is working.
I've got about 6 broken drives here if you want more practice ...

That's what I figured needed to be done Rich. Certainly not a job for me with my fat fingers nor my mate.
Can you recommend anyone who has a clean room and does this sort of work?

The drive will be coming back from OS early next week. I've asked for a photo of drive to obtain equivalent drive for repair parts.
