Goggles... :-) Especially if you are lifting/twisting one side - it'll be under tension if/when it breaks.

the videos says that you shouldn't do the work on your own and should have someone help you hold the mirror in place while you try to remove it.  also protect the surroundings with thick cloth in case the mirror fall onto it.  and yes, to wear goggles in case the glass go into your eye.  also to wear a cap in case the glass go into your hair.

but the most useful tip was to completely cover the mirror in tape so that when it does break into pieces, the tape will hopefully keep it together.

it does sound like a hard job, so i may decide to pay someone else to do it.

Instead of going on about a mirror none of us can see , or want to, why don't you employ someone who knows what he's doing ??? Oh, you've just come to that conclusion yourself after starting a thread on MSE which was unnecessary 

The thread has actually helped me, I have a key/dog leader holder in my old house that I absolutely love. It is made of wood and was hand crafted. I admit to glueing it to the wall. I really couldn't think of a way to get it off. However I do have a pack of guitar strings so may give it a go.

But the O/P, having opened a thread on this site for suggestions, has decided ignore them all and to call in someone who knows what they are doing. So how has it helped you, especially as you  "absolutely love" the leader holder. Isn't that even more reason to call in someone who knows what they are doing as the last O/P eventually decided ? Seems strange for an article you love. Good luck

Sorry about the mis spelling it's a lead/key holder. I do love it. All I was pointing out was that the thread had helped  me as I thought my only option was leaving it on the wall. I didnt comment on what the op did or did not do. It had not crossed my mind about trying a wire behind it.  The only thought I had previously was a blunt edged implement and I could only see that causing damage to the wood or the wall. So I was resigned to leaving it. I think it cost about £8 so hardly an heirloom.
