Mend Replace Sealed Unit

How to replace a sealed unit?

Can a sealed unit in a upvc window be replaced on a DIY basis, if so, how and are any special tools required?

Assuming that the glazed unit has the push in retention strut outside -
First you need to remove the inner seal by pushing the window outward. Prize the seal up and remove all or it. Next go outside and with the aid of a paint scraper push inward and upward between the frame and the retention strut on the longer side. It will sort of ping out. Next remove the other struts in a similar fashion.
When you fit the new window do the opposite of removal.
If the retention struts are inside go outside first and remove the seal as above.
