Hi there.
I don't know the reason why you want to open your hard drive, but if it is for data recovery purposes keep in mind that hard drives need to be opened in dust free environments and by specialized personnel. In case you open it, it's very likely to kill whatever was still able to be saved and the chances the drive to become useless after that are significant.
Hope this helps.
Cheers! :)
