Use a wood chisel, or putty knife to get rid of any remaining old putty around the frame and the window sash. Be careful not to break the window handle replacement sash. Be careful and slow. It is recommended to do this on a sturdy ladder instead of the ground and to have someone standing below the sash to help hold it steady.
Make sure that the window frame is ready to accommodate the new pane once you have removed the old putty. Take measurements of the width and height of the opening in the sash by subtracting 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). Bring these measurements to the nearest hardware store or home center, and have a piece of stock glass cut to size. Alternately, you can cut the glass yourself if have the appropriate tools.
After putting the new pane in place after installing the new pane, put a tiny amount of caulking around the edges to seal it against weather. Install a glazier's point on both sides of the frame. This will ensure the pane. The points should not be so tight that they create friction between the frame and the sash However, they should not be loose.
Before applying the putty make sure to knead it until it is soft and free of lumps. Then, roll it into pencil-size strips. The first strip should be placed to the corner of the frame, moving from one corner to another to ensure it is even and smooth.
Glazier's Points

Take measurements of the empty frame and write down accurate measurements. Take these measurements to a hardware store or home center and request that the new pane cut smaller than the frame's opening. This will ensure that the pane fits perfectly and allows for expansion and contraction.
Place the new pane into the frame and push it into the frame using your hand. Make use of the chisel's point or the back of the putty knife to tap the glazier's points as illustrated in Figure 11. The glazier's points should sit in line with the top edge of your pane, and the raised shoulders should be just below that lip.
Apply a thin layer of glazing compound on the edges of the new glass and in the rabbet grooves to seal and protect them. Allow it to dry completely and cure.
Install the new window sash when the glazing compound has dried. First, you need to coat the wood with an even layer of linseed. This will prevent the new putty from drying out and cracking when it absorbs moisture. Apply this coat with a brush or the tip of your putty knife, and then employ the chisel or back end from the putty knife to gently press the new sash window replacement and glazier's point into the grooves of the rabbet.

The glass is held into place by a small metal clip, also known as a glazier’s point and putty. This compound is also called glazing compound. Before installing a replacement pane, first get rid of the old one and clean the area with a rag and an abrasive scraper that is a pull type or a wood chisel. Wear safety glasses and gloves when working. You'll need a heat gun in the event that the window is glued into the frame.
If you are planning to replace the original sash, remove the molding pieces that secure the old pane. Then, sand the sash to ensure it's smooth and ready for new caulk. Once the sash is re-installed and sanded, apply a fresh caulk made of silicone around the glass to ensure that it won't leak or discolor as time passes.
Take out the glazing points in the rabbets. These are the grooves in the sash, where the glass is. If they're difficult to work out, you can try holding an instrument like a heat gun to soften them before you do. When using a heat tool, make sure to not scratch the sash's railings and sash.
After the old glaze points and putty are removed, prepare a bed for the new pane. Roll a rope of glazing compound between your hands, shaping it to be around 1/2-inch thick. Then, replace window Pane press it into the rabbets, where the glass will rest. The glass must rest against the putty on both sides. If needed, lightly tap your glass into the rabbet with your thumb.
If the new pane is cracked, you can apply the silicone caulk or glass glue that is based on solvents to cover the crack prior to pressing it into the sash.

If you're ready to begin taking off the old window pane by removing the glazing points of metal that are attached to it. These are small metal triangles that function as "nails" that hold the window in place.

After removal of the old pane clean the frame and the wood. Scrape off any paint that has been used, and sand the rabbet grooves in which the glazing points were placed. Sand them to bare wooden surfaces, allowing you to paint the frames the same shade. After the sanding process, apply a coat of flax oil to the wood's surface to extend the life of the frame.
Then, you need to measure the width of the window opening. You will need to measure the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the entire opening, as well as the thickness. To determine the exact size of the new pane, subtract 1/8 inch from both measurements. This will allow for seasonal changes in the glass. Bring these measurements to the hardware or home improvement store and have a piece cut for you.
Now, it's time to bed the new window pane.

Use a putty knife to smear the putty evenly, making sure that there isn't an excessive amount of excess putty in the corners and along the edges. When the putty dries, it can be painted with the same color as the frame to prevent water and air from leaking into the frame and causing fogging.
