Replace complete window in a brick home

I live in Florida, my home is 2200sq ft. It is made of red brick and is 25 years old. I am playing to remove and replace the 25 year old windows. I want to use new double pain single sash, as that is what is there now. I need to know how to remove the metal casing. I am not going to remove any bricks, if it looks like I have to remove bricks that will be the end of my replacing the windows.

window's install from outside tword inside . easy enough to see if the brick covers the frame ,if so your going to need to chisel . if you can see the caulk line all around the frame then no brick needs to be removed .

is it real or faux brick ?

I took a window out of a house with faux brick a few weeks ago and we had to chisel the brick "tiles" out to get clearance for the frame. to come out .
