I guess the obvious would be a soldering iron with an extremely fine tip. For the love of god, don't go with a soldering gun as they get way to hot, the tips are to big and you will have no control with it. Also, are you sure Seagate will repair the drive if you screw it up? I figure with shipping and repair charge (if they do that) you might as well buy a new drive.
