When I did the cataract in my Motorola WID, I found that a wound guitar string worked well - kind of like a saw. Better than just a regular wire. I attached it to two pieces of broom handle, and just went for it. What a mess to clean up after I got the glass off though.. not excited to ever do that job again!
