3. Spindle replacement process
To prepare the bearing that will be used in the spindle replacement process, the
whole working bearing must be first removed from a donor hard drive.
1. Best way to remove the bearing from donor hard drive is to first remove the heads from
a donor, then remove the platters along with spacers between the platters. This means
to remove all internal parts of the hard drive except the platter carrier – "the hat" and
the bearing on which it stands.
2. When the hard drive is prepared in this way, place it in the tool so that the bottom hole
of the tool is precisely under the bottom side of the hard drive spindle. To place the
drive correctly, use the needle on the upper side of the tool. Push the needle down and
place the drive so that the needle points to the top side of the spindle.
3. When the hard drive is positioned correctly, use 6 butterfly-screws to fix the hard drive
in place. Pull the needle up by unscrewing the needle-screw.
