Reassemble, reconnect, and rejoice
Once all the parts are dry and clean, reassemble everything in reverse order of disassembly. Before you put the top on, spray a generous amount of WD-40 into the drive to make sure it runs smoothly. Reconnect the drive, boot up your machine and be pleased with how smooth and fast your nice clean hard drive is running now. Perform this procedure once a year, e.g. every first of April, and you'll guarantee your hard drive a long and happy life.
