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.



Use wallpaper glue and and glue newspaper to both sides of the glass.
Allow glue to dry and use the hammer method.

The parcel tape method is probably easier, and you don't have to wait for
paste to dry.
