You are the "specialist". You can do it. All you have to do is put some duct tape, a thick rag, or rubber on that glass and pull it out of the frame gently with a wide clamp or pair of pliers. One of those vice grips with the wide mouth for shaping sheet metal would probably do an excellent job. You might be surprised at how easy it will come out. Then drill out the broken latch piece and pop-rivet the replacement lever in place and tap the glass back into place with a rubber mallet or something similar. If you break the glass, it's no big deal. Just order a new piece. :-X22
Post your location specifically (not just the state), and there might be someone nearby to help if you still don't feel comfortable with it.
