I have removed one (an OE windshield in nice shape) from a wreck, and plan to have it installed in another car. It took two people to remove, using a cable to cut the windshield free. We used a piece of bicycle brake cable with wooden handles to pull back and forth around the perimeter, one person inside and the other outside. It was pretty hard work! The cable broke several times.

I looked into what is involved with DIY installation, and you need a special powered urethane dispenser to get an even bead all the way around the frame, so the glass sits level and is sealed all the way around. In my opinion, much better to pay an expert to install it.
