Windshield removal

[chvtrkman]

Alright,I'm getting ready to remove the windshield and rear glass from my donor cab...never did anything like this before,and don't want to break the glass if I can help it as it's in good condition.I already did a search to check other threads on this topic and found mostly tips on install...also read a few posts that state removal is relatively easy.One of particular interest was posted by LockDoc on 9/14/2006.He used a 55" piece of garden hose on top inside of cab,between the rubber and the flange,and two 18" sections of 1/2" electric cord (one on each side) in a similar manner.Then he placed his hands near the top of the windshield a little bit in from the outer most edges and pushed,and the windshield popped right out.
My question is,could it be THAT easy?...Things don't usually go that well for me.Also,do I not need to cut the rubber trim on the exterior to use this method?
...I prefer to not bang my head against the wall in frustration after an hour of no success,only to find out that I missed some crucial step in this process (which usually ends up being the case when I attempt something I don't know beans about) so anyone who cares to offer a few words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
