Glass block removal?
I have glass block installed in my basement windows. They have cracked since my house shifted. I want to remove the glass block and replace them with a new glass block panel.
Do I chisel the mortar from around the frame of the old glass block panel, or do I smash the glass block out? Smashing would be so messy.
Any suggestions?

You get them out however you can. If the mortar can be chipped out that's an option. Once you get a row out you can probably just wiggle and get the others to come free. But, removing the mortar without breaking the glass can be difficult so just breaking a row might be the fastest.

I've installed a few but never had the pleasure to try and remove.
They are pretty durable but bet there wont be any whole pieces after you get going!
