Hi guys, Long shot, but where can I get Harddrive head replacement tools (and replacement head) for Seagate Barracuda drive locally. Thx. Opened up the harddrive and saw the heads (tiny) are visibly bent to one side. Can order it online, but if there is a supplier locally, then may get some other tips.

What model is it?
All I can say is good luck...
This is not DIY stuff.
If you're serious about the data, please see my signature.
But based on the model and how the drive failed, it might not be recoverable at all.

Its Seagate Barracuda 2000GB Model ST2000DM001 (Product of Thailand). Old movie drive, so not important data. Saw youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-8K0RdZNYA) to replace it, does not look difficult at all, but can be wrong.

Good luck - unless its done in a clean environment the chances of repairing it are slim.

I once had a dinner guest bend a fork while eating with us. I applied vaseline, put it in the freezer, and after 10 mins it was not bent anymore. Great advice.
