Unplug the lamp. Take out the bulb. Work on a padded surface. Always hold your tools lower than the glass, in case you drop one. (Work from underneath.) You may want to tape some bubble wrap to the glass or the parts of the arms you aren't working on.
The dark plastic light bulb socket must be removed. It unscrews into two pieces; a seam usually runs along the opening for the switch. (Some lamps have a set screw at the base of the socket, to keep the switch from rotating out of position. Remove this screw.) Unscrew the socket halves gently. You don't want to twist the wires inside the lamp.
Pull the threaded metal socket from the base of the plastic socket about half an inch.
You'll see two screws securing the lamp wires. Loosen them and note which wire goes to which screw. If the two wires look identical, it can be helpful to straighten the end of one, but leave the other twisted.
You should be able to pull the two remaining socket pieces from the wire.
The wires run though a threaded sleeve called a nipple. The other arm of the lamp has a matching nipple to hold the glass on. At least one of these should be unscrewed from your lamp so that you don't have to bend the lamp arms to put the new glass on. If the nipples don't turn easily by hand, don't be afraid to use pliers to turn them. They can be replaced at almost any hardware store.
Keep all rubber bushings, washers and nuts in the order in which you removed them. Only the rubber or plastic parts should touch the glass.
Reassemble in the opposite order.
If you bought a whole cheap lamp to replace your glass, as I did, don't be afraid to cut the lamp wires or strip the threads on the nipples to take it apart.
