where the Handyman cuts out the scenes where he almost drops the window outside.Link was missing the 'C' from the end.
By the the sound of his comments at the end, he found it more difficult than he envisaged. Personally, at that size of window he's working on, it's borderline worth taking the glass out 😕
If your reasonably strong, competent with a screwdriver, you have good working access and a friend to pass the screw you dropped then leave it in. At least with side hung, you can rest some of the weight on the bottom of the frame.Remove it, if there's a chance of dropping it on someone or something expensive below, or your your just unsure of handling the weight in that position.

Thanks for that info. I will look at the Phocas hinges to check if there are any problems with the position of the screw holes. I am a bit worried about handling the weight of the window while fixing the last screws. I am thinking of rigging a sling from a ladder outside the window. It is a bit tricky as the one in the photo is above the porch roof and one of the others is above a big bay window.
This might be a silly question - do they come in matching pairs when you buy them or do I have to order top/bottom or left/right ones?
