This is not as simple as you seem to think it is. There are some videos on YouTube on how to replace components, but the trick is to do it right and in a way that won't kill the drive even more.

More importantly, why are your IDE desktop drives dying? Or why do you still have ten IDE drives when that interface was sent to the retirement home years ago?

Seriously - what indications are you getting of failure?
