In addition to a new pane, the following tools are required: latex glazing putty; glazier's points; pliers; and the use of a heat gun to warm the old putty, if needed. Wear safety goggles and gloves prior to starting. Working with broken glass could cause serious injuries.

To allow for seasonal expansion or contraction by subtracting 1/8 inch from the measurements of width and height. Bring these measurements to an hardware store or home center, and have a piece of stock glass cut to size. Alternately, you can cut the glass yourself if you have the appropriate tools.
After putting in the new glass, apply caulking to the edge. This will make the glass weatherproof. Then, you can install a glazier's pointing on the frame's opposite side to hold the pane in place. The points should not be tight enough to create friction between the frame and sash However, they should not be loose.
Before putting the putty on, work it in a gentle manner until it is smooth and free of lumps. Then, roll it into pencil-size strips. Apply the first strip to the corner of the frame, moving from one corner to the next to ensure it is even and smooth.
Glazier's Points
The glazier’s points are small triangular metal pieces that allow glass to be secured to the frame without damaging the delicate surface. It's easy to learn how to use this secret tool, and you'll be able to save money on the expense of a professional installation.
After the old putty as well as the glazier's point are gone Clean the frame thoroughly with a utility knife to remove any remaining traces. If necessary, lightly sand the wood along rabbet grooves to smooth rough areas. If you do sand the wood, be sure to protect it with painter's tack to avoid accidental damage.
Note down the exact dimensions of the frame. Take these dimensions to a hardware store or a home center, and have the new pane cut slightly smaller than the frame's opening. This will ensure that the pane fits snugly and allows for expansion and contraction.
Insert the new pane into the frame and press it down using your hands. Then use the point of your chisel, or the back of the putty knife to pierce the glazier's facets, as illustrated in Figure 11. The glazier's point should be aligned with the top edge of your pane and the shoulders should be just beneath that lip.
Apply a thin layer of glazing compound on the rabbet grooves as well as the edges of new glass. This will protect and seal the edges. Allow this to dry and cure completely.
When the glazing compound is dry it's time to put in the new window sash. First, you need to coat the wood with an even layer of linseed. This will stop the new putty from soaking up the moisture and deteriorating and cracking with time. Apply the coat using a brush or the edge of your putty knife, then use the chisel or the back end from the putty knife to gently press the new sash and glazier's tips into the grooves of the rabbet. Repeat this process at intervals of 10 inches all around the frame.
Putty

The glass is held in place by a small metal clip, referred to as a glazier’s point and putty. This compound is also known as glazing compound. Remove the old pane and clean the area with the rag, a pull-type scraper, or a wood chisel. Wear safety glasses and gloves while you do this work. You'll need a heat gun if the window is glued to the frame.
If you're planning to install the original sash, gently remove any pieces of molding that hold the old pane in place. Sand the sash until it is flat and ready for new caulk. Once the sash is reinstalled then, you can apply a silicone caulk over the glass. This will ensure that it doesn't get soiled or discolor over time.
Take out the glazing points in the rabbets. These are the grooves in the sash, which is where the glass is located. If they're difficult to cut, place the hand tool, such as a heating gun over them to allow them to soften before.

Once the old glaze points and putty have been removed, prepare a bed for the new pane. Roll a piece of glazing compound between your hands, and form it to be about 1/2-inch thick. Then, press it into the rabbets where the glass will sit. It's important that the glass rests against the putty on both sides, so if you need to, lightly tap the glass into the rabbet with your thumb.
