Use a wood chisel, or putty knives, to take away any remaining old putty around the frame and window sash. Take your time and work slowly and be careful not to damage the old window sash. It is recommended to work using a sturdy ladder rather than on the ground and to have someone stand below the sash to help hold it in place.
Make sure that the window frame is ready to accept the new pane once you have removed the old glue. To allow for seasonal expansion or contraction, subtract 1/8 inch each from the measurements of width and height. These measurements can be sent to a hardware or home center store to get an item cut from stock glass to the right size. You can also cut the glass by yourself if you possess the right tools.
After installing the new pane, run a small bead of caulking around the edge to ensure it is weatherproof. Install a glazier’s point on both sides of the frame. This will help secure the pane. The points shouldn't be tight enough to create friction between the frame and sash However, they should not be loose.
Before applying the putty, make sure to knead it until it is smooth and free of lumps. Make it into pencil-sized strips. Place the first strip to the corner of the frame, working from one corner to the other to ensure it is even and smooth.
Glazier's Points

After the old putty and glazier's points are removed and the frame is thoroughly cleaned with a knife to eliminate any remaining traces. Lightly sand the wood in the rabbet grooves to smooth out rough areas. If you do sand the wood, ensure you protect it by using painter's tape to prevent accidental damage.
Take measurements of the empty frame and record precise measurements. These dimensions can be taken to the hardware or home center store, and the new frame will be cut a bit smaller. This will ensure a secure fit, and allow for expansion and contraction.
Insert the new pane into the frame and press it down with your hands. Then, replace Window pane use the tip of your chisel, or the back end of the putty knife to make a tap on the glazier's points as shown in Figure 11. When you're done, they should be flush with the top edge of the pane, and the raised shoulders of the points should be just below the rabbet's rim groove.
Apply a small amount of glazing compound on the edges of the glass that has been made and into the rabbet grooves to seal and protect them. Allow it to dry completely and cure.
Once the glazing compound has dried and the glazing compound is dry, you can install the new window sash. First, coat the wood with a heavy coat of linseed oil. This will prevent the new putty from drying out and cracking as it absorbs moisture. Use a brush to apply this coat, or even the tip of the putty blade. Then, use the chisel on the back of the tool or the back of the putty handle to gently hit the new sash, or glazier's point into grooves of the rabbet. Repeat this process at intervals of 10 inches around the frame.
Putty
A baseball hit, a rock thrown in error or a branch falling can result in a cracked or cracked window pane. Fortunately, the majority of windows can be easily replaced by simply putting a brand new piece in the right place. The glass is held into the position with a tiny metal clip, called a glazier’s point and putty. This compound is also known as 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 an abrasive wood chisel. Wear safety glasses and gloves when working. You'll need a heat gun when the window is fixed to the frame.
If you're planning to replace window handles your original sash, remove the molding that holds the old pane. Sand the sash until it is flat and ready for new caulk. Once the sash is reinstalled, you can apply a silicone caulk over the glass. This will ensure that it doesn't leak over time or discolor.
Remove the glazing points from the rabbets. These are the grooves in the sash, where the glass is located. If they're difficult to work out, try placing a hand tool like a heat gun over them to soften them first. When using a heated tool, be sure to not damage the sash's railings and sash.
After the old glaze points and putty have been removed, make a bed for the new pane. Roll a rope of glazing compound between your hands, forming it to be about 1/2-inch thick.

If you've had a broken window pane, you might be worried about the cost of replacing it. In reality, replacing a single pane glass doesn't have to be expensive if you do it on your own. In fact even windows with double panes can be replaced at only a fraction of the cost of an expert.

If you're ready to begin with the removal of the old window by prying out the glazing points of metal that are connected to it. These are basically small metal triangles that function as "nails" that hold the window in place within the frame of wood. They are placed under a bead of glazing putty that hardens into a solid, moulded wedge that holds the window firmly in place and hides the edges.
After removing the old pane, clean the frame and wood. Scrape off any paint and sand down the rabbet grooves where the glazing points were. Sand them down to clean wood surfaces, so that you can paint the frames the same color. After sanding, apply a layer of flax oil to the wood that is not sanded down to help extend its lifespan.
Next, measure the dimensions of the window opening. You will need to measure the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the entire opening as well as the thickness. Subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement to ensure you get the exact measurement for the new pane. This will also allow for expansion and contraction of the glass during seasonal changes. Take these dimensions to the hardware or home improvement store and ask them to cut you a piece cut for you.
Now, it's time to bed the new window pane. To do this, place the pane inside the frame and move it around until a 1/16 inch of putty remains between the edge of the glass and the sash on all four sides. 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.
