Stick a heavy-duty suction cup near each of the two top corners of the glass panel.

While lightly holding the suction cup against the glass, raise the movable handle until it is parallel with the other handle (as indicated by the third picture).

Gently lift the glass panel perpendicular to the face of the LCD, enough to clear the steel mounting pins attached along the underside of the top edge of the glass panel.

Pull the glass panel away from the lower edge of the iMac and carefully set it aside.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
One comment
Your topic says "Replacement" not "Removal". There is nothing here about how to obtain a new glass panel and how to install it.

You can easily lift the glass panel off the magnets with only your fingernails (or something thin like a credit card or a guitar pick). No need to buy suction cups you will only use once.
