The bottom one won&#8217;t open because the tracks are so worn out &#8211; they are loose and bend outward when I try to lift the windows.  I would like to take it out myself maybe with a friend helping rather than hire someone. I am not exactly sure how to do it but I think I might need to be on the outside on a ladder. But, can I do this from inside instead? I have done DIY projects before but never dealt with storm windows.  Is this a tricky project? Any tips?   If I need to hire someone? The new windows will be installed by a contractor in about a month and is not available to do this.
