Remove hard drive from 2008 MacBook Pro

Hi, I have an old Macbook Pro from 2008. The laptop is no longer in working condition but I would like to remove the hard drive to recover any data files. What tools do I need to remove the hard drive and what kind of hard drive adaptor do I need to connect it my current laptop to recover the files? Thanks!
