I just removed, cleaned, and replaced the display glass on my MBP without removing the display, and it turned out to be much easier, including removing the bottom edge of the glass. Perhaps this was because the original glass adhesive was failing, with most of the top edge adhesive no longer doing its job, and in most cases removing the display will make the task easier. However, I'd suggest doing the glass only first; if you find you can't remove the bottom edge of the glass then you can remove the display and finish the job.
I second trying without removing. I have done it both ways, and if you don't have to do a near complete tear down, avoid it. More importantly they left out a couple important steps before reassembling. Clean, clean, clean the frame before laying down adhesive. Also, after install heating a bit can help to set it.
If you don't have a penta lobe driver, I recommend buying one. The flathead screwdriver method mentioned here and elsewhere didn't work for me and resulted in a stripped screw head, which was a real pain to get out. I found a penta lobe driver locally and avoided ruining more screws.
