Suggestions on how to remove the old glass safely. I'm not an
experience glazier.

The obvious way is to just smash it out - but am concerned with damage
to surrounding things by the falling glass.


Isn't the obvious way to remove the putty or whatever is holding the
glass in then remove the glass in one piece?


It's the obvious way, but my guess is the glass will break when hacking it
out. And since I'll be up a step ladder, would rather not have large
chunks of it flying around.
