Before you break the glass....Do you have a heat gun ??? ...Mabe you could heat up the glass enough to release the glue...

I know Jules states that he soaks them in laquer thinner and they usually...with caress, come off. If you're not trying to save it I'd save the time and effort and break it off.

I have successfully warmed the glass with a propane torch and popped it out. There are 3-4 spots of adhesive.
