I would say "no".

Technically, you'd have to pull out the glass scale to glue it in properly.  I've done one of these myself but the glass was chipped and the drive is toast because it has to be glued exactly where it was.   You can't deviate by even a little bit or the scale if off and your tracks are off.  As I recall, I even did a low level format and it didn't help.

If it works, I would leave it alone until it's broken.  If the machine does not get jostled around much, it should have cause to fall out of it's current mounting.  But that's only my opinion after trying to repair one drive. I have one or two more Widget's that are fine otherwise.      

Hope this helps.
