Remove the glass, make a cut through the frame edge, peel the frame out like an onion, seal the space, insert window, shim level, screw into frame, fill cavity with backer rod, sealant joint (big stretch) apply sand to sealant before it dries to replicate grout.
@@TheSeriesofTubes thank you for this reply. My issue is "peel the frame out like an onion," part. As you can see in this video, the window nailing flange is trapped behind the siding (in my case, brick) ... so I would either need to fully detach the window from the flange and leave the flange in place, or somehow attempt to rip the flange out, which is sort of impossible since the flange nails are obstructed by the brick. I think I will need to leave old metal flange in place and work around it when installing the new windows. Also, when you say "seal the space," in your mind what does that entail? I have brick siding, 2" air gap, then existing sheathing. Again, really appreciate your insights
This is a GREAT video, thanks! Deserves more views and likes. Exactly what I needed.
This is just what I needed also! I have an old aluminum window that has daunted my demolition mojo. This helped!
107.3! I’m a BHAM guy as well. Great video
how long did this take ?
Great video. I'm dealing with the same thing only brick siding (face palm)

how do you do this but with stucco siding
Very similar, but with a cut off wheel and a masonry blade
