Years ago I had a similar problem when I was replacing old windows in my home.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The siding was wood and it butted right up against the old windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What I wound up doing was cutting back the siding about 3 inches around the top and sides of the old windows to expose the window flanges. I used a skill saw to make the cuts after first measuring and using a straight edge and pencil to mark my lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I then went inside the house and removed the interior wood trim pieces from each of the old windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once I cut away the strips of siding and removed the interior trim pieces, I was able to use a flatbar and hammer to remove the nails that held the old window flanges in place. I was then able to slide the old windows out of their window frame openings.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KVQ3KJQ\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00KVQ3KJQ&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=26474c347566b4509d679d3c80071cf8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B00KVQ3KJQ&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00KVQ3KJQ\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After removing each old window, I slid a new vinyl window into its place, and made sure it was centered and level in the window opening.

How do I remove the old aluminum window frame and how do I install the new window?&hellip;","og_url":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/","og_site_name":"HomeAdditionPlus.com","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DIYHomeAdditionPlus\/","article_modified_time":"2018-07-16T10:42:52+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/New_Window_Ebook.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_site":"@homeaddition","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/","url":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/","name":"How to Replace an Old Window - HomeAdditionPlus.com","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/New_Window_Ebook.jpg","datePublished":"2017-02-07T11:08:06+00:00","dateModified":"2018-07-16T10:42:52+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/New_Window_Ebook.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/New_Window_Ebook.jpg","width":250,"height":250,"caption":"How to Install a Window Ebook"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/how-to-replace-old-window\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Do It Yourself Window Installation, Window Repair and Window Replacement","item":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/windows\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"How to Replace an Old Window"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/#website","url":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/","name":"HomeAdditionPlus.com","description":"Helping Homeowners Every Day!","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/#organization","name":"DIY HomeAdditionPlus.com","url":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HomeAdditionPlus_logo.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HomeAdditionPlus_logo.jpg","width":369,"height":73,"caption":"DIY HomeAdditionPlus.com"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DIYHomeAdditionPlus\/","https:\/\/x.com\/homeaddition","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/HomeAdditionPlus"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9168"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19199,"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9168\/revisions\/19199"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
