All the screws are not visible, some are hidden under labels and
stickers. Takes about ten minutes to completely dissemble, worth it
for the magnets.
The magnets must be buried so deep as not to attract anything.

Shielded by the steel case.

Right.

The 2 magnets, 1 on each side of the voice coil are glued to the 2
mounting brackets which are made of Mu-Metal which is a magnetic
shielding material.

All this talk of hard drive disassembly and salvaging strong magnets
talk motivated me to take an old drive apart. No problem at all pulling
the cover, but somehow I can't seem to find these magnets or even that
voice coil thingy.
Maybe someone can point it out on my drive?

Here's a cover off top view:

Else maybe it's somewhere underneath:

Thats a very old one, no magnets, but a stepper motor to
drive the head movement.
30-40 years old........
