Replacing broken passenger window

My passenger window broke and I'm replacing it. I got the door trim off but found out my window isn't made like most car windows. It has holes and there are three bolts that sandwich the glass. My question is how do I unsandwich the broken glass so I can sandwich the replacement glass and put it in the car? Do I need a special tool or something? I tried moving it with screwdrivers but it seems pretty stuck.

They aren't really "special tools" (meaning manufacturer specific) but it appears that you just need a pair of "pin spanners" to loosen and tighten those fasteners.

From previous experience, a shop vac does wonders in that situation.

all you need is 2 pairs of pliers..one to hold the side where the stud is and the other to turn the opposite side
