you certainly do not have to break a windsheild out of any early or fc vair 
unless it is already broken, or otherwise glued in?.  it will come out fairly 
easy if you go around the seal with a hook or angle tool from the inside, then 
sit in the middle of the seat and put your feet at the far sides and just push 
gently , holding pressure for a bit. then gradualy increase the pressure 
carefully towards the top.it works better if it is warm, but i have done it in 
winter outside. the windshield will start to come out top first with gasket. just 
keep even pressure on it untill it is loose. i have done it alone many times 
on fc's and earlys but you should have a helper on outside to catch it on 
fc's. if you do it right it will come loose enough that you can go outside and 
pick it off the truck yourself. a car it will just kinda set itself on the hood 
for you.  use a blanket to prevent scratching unless you are junking as i 
usually am.  regards tim colson
