Start on the inside lower corner trying to get the gasket off the sheetmetal... use a few extra screwdrivers to keep it off once you get started. Then work your way along the bottom to the othert corner, and start up the sides. Then you will be able to grab the entire assembly and pull out and down to remove it entirely.

So it's just held in with pressure? I would assume the gasket is reusable? Is there any glue/epoxy I should use on the new window to keep it from leaking? Thanks, this sounds a lot easier that I thought. Sounds like you just need to be careful. Thanks for your help!
