Should I just pull it out from the inside after chipping away the mortar
bed? How is a new window finished off on the interior, i.e. with wood stop
molding, or just caulk? Do I need a wood frame, or can I attach the unit
directly to the blocks?


Thanks for any advice.

Many years ago I used to install windows in a part time business I had. In
a basement window I'd tear out the wood frame and whatever, then set the
aluminum framed window in place and mortar both the inside and outside.
Vinyl was not made in windows back then.
