It's not that hard to tell if a MacBook Pro has been taken apart by someone who doesn't know what they're doing. This is not a chance I would take -- and you aren't really saving yourself that much money as you'd ending up buying the factory drive and the new drive.
As a certified Apple tech, I have to strongly advise against this. I, and most of my colleagues, would have no hesitation in denying you warranty service if there was anything out of place in the machine.
