The key to removing the glass without breaking it is patience and not prying on it, even then it can be a challenge but it can be done. As mentioned, get a windshield removal kit, typically comes with a spool of wire and some handles. A long bladed device that can cut the buytl from the inside is very helpful. I have seen hot knifes used as well.
You have to resist the urge to press up/out on the glass until you have 99% of the buytl cut or released. Be cautious when using the wire to cut the buytl because its easy to grind the glass and in some cases crack it, you really have to get the angle right.
Again, it can be done it just takes time and caution.
