No charge but I have to dismantle/re-erect it.

I've no experience of such an operation and I can't just remove the
glass
and carry the frame as I'm 4 miles away.

Should I go for it or will it be more hassle than it's worth?

Can be done but remember that old glass is often very brittle. I would be
most surprised if you didn't crack a pane or two when removing the spring
clips. I'm not much on 'elf&safety usually, but I'd definitely use
safety
glasses when removing those clips, as splinters of glass tend to break
off
and fly all over the place.


The spring clips can be pretty deadly too when they fly off.
