The screen should come off from the window frame - it is mounted in its own frame made of lightweight metal.
It's like $20 in tools and new screen to replace. Best to start on a smaller window for practice, but once you've done one, they go easy.
The frames to the screens immediately above this are easily removable, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Is it a bad idea to try to replace a screen without removing the frame?
It's not exactly a window. It's a component to a screened in porch.
You probably can, just need to find out how the screen is attached. Usually it's a rubber "bead'" that has been pressed into a notch to hold the screen. Just make sure to replace the bead too when you replace the screen.
