Data recovery is way beyond average DIY. If you need to ask but have already opened up the drive, your data is already dead.
HDDs must be opened in clean room environment, the donor drive must be the EXACT SAME model, there are special tool and procedure to transplant the multi platter drive and keep the alignment. Afterwards you stil need to transplant the HDD’s calibration data from one controller board to the next. And then maybe you are lucky enough to get the data.
Basically it’s something like this, randomly googled YouTube video, not endorsing anything.
