How do you remove the glass from the frame without breaking it?

| Do you mean the vent window and frame assembly from the door or the vent window from the removed frame from the door? |

If Dave Hall did it then you can do it? Jim Adney told you not to do it!

A block of wood on the frame and a hammer?

Soak the window and seal with varsol, wax and grease remover. Something that does not evaporate quickly. Small prying action in the grove for the window. Keep spraying your solvent in. Little by little it will come loose. Harder to put back together.
