    put ur foot against the screen from the inside and push it out slowly

    get a mate to stand other side incase it comes out to fast

    it will give try starting in the corners first

    to fit new screen u can use string to pull the lip back in on the rubber or you can bend a old screwdriver like a hook shape and run it round the rubber to pull the edge back over the lip
