I'm replacing the fanlight above the front door with new frosted glass

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?




Assuming it was originally properly fitted with putty even if you spent all
week trying to remove it

the glass would still not come out without breaking.
