Lewmar hatches

Back to replacing the flush hatches - but this time it’s the «portlight» in the aft head. We caught the genoa sheet under the oversized pane and got a crack in it. Only after ordering the replacement from Boatoon, I realized that these are constructed as custom flush hatches just like the ones in the deck - and not as portlights with inner clamping frames. Has anyone replaced these? Should I expect to be forced to replace the inner plastic frame as well? How hard was it to get the old ones off? And was these simply screwed into the balsa core as well - or was there any reinforcements in place?
