Hi, i am not an expert, but i did this in my own house a few years back. Dead easy really, you have to get the plastic quadrant out first using a flat scraper and gently hammer it out being care full not to damage it too much.

Then measure the window up and get it made up - make sure to measure how high the window is from the floor in case it needs to be reinforced!

If it's a big window then you can get the glass sucker things from B&Q to help place the window!

You may need new spacers for the window? to make sure it goes in level.

Then replace the quadrant. think you get each end in first and use a rubber mallet to knock back in place.

Hope this helps
