hello guys, could u pls tell me why to remove platters I need a platter remover tool ?

Is there any way to remove the platters without any tool and without damaging the hd ?

because you need to maintain the alignment.

And for the 2nd question : No.

If the HDD is single platter most of the time you do not need a tool, but it is still risky.

For two platters and above you need a tool. This is because platters have to keep alignment. If they move even a micron your data is lost.
