Take the Putty off
It can be difficult to get rid of the glazing putty used to secure glass panes that are tempered in their frames. It gets harder as it dries and this can make it very difficult to remove without breaking the glass. To avoid this, the old putty should be removed before installing the new window. The removal of window putty isn't an straightforward task, but it is achievable with a bit of perseverance and effort. It is recommended to wear leather gloves and eye protection while working near the glass since it could be extremely dangerous.
To begin the process of removing the putty, first remove any nails or spriggs holding the window in place. These nails were used prior to when double glazing windows replacement glazing and upvc were introduced on the market to help hold the glass in place. They are usually located in the corners of the frame and can be removed with a screwdriver if they are exposed or cut off with a hacksaw. If they are hidden, you'll have to use a small chisel (or putty chisel) to remove them from the frame.
Mineral spirits are needed to remove any old putty that remains after removal of the nail. This product is available from the majority of hardware stores and is best used in a well ventilated area. It is recommended to use the oil in short bursts to avoid over heating the paint and wood because this could cause it to crack or explode.
Another alternative is to use the heat gun to soften the putty. This is more effective for putty that has been painted over or is hardened, and is extremely efficient. Keep moving when using a heat gun. If you leave it in one place for too long, the wood could be burned and the glass cracked.
You can also use steel wool to get rid of the putty, however this method isn't as efficient and can be quite messy. This method should only be used as a last resort, and is not recommended for homes with children.
Remove the Glazing Points made of metal
A baseball hit or the tree branch that is blown off could damage a window. While most people believe that windows that are damaged requires a complete replacement of the frame and the sash, it is possible to repair the view and lower costs for energy by only replacing the glass.
The first step in a window glass replacement is to remove the metal glazing points which hold the old pane in place. Utilizing a putty knife scrape away as much of the softened glaze as is possible to expose the points. There should be at least four of them, evenly spaced on either side of the frame. When you can see the metal, grab each using needle-nosed pliers and pull them straight out. Be careful not to pry too hard. If the point is inflexible or breaks, you may end up damaging the frame and will need to replace it.
Once the putty and metal glazing points have been removed, it is now time to prepare the frame for the new glass. Clean the grooves in which the glass will be placed and ensure that they are smooth and free of dents and cracks. A heat gun can be helpful in this process but be cautious and employ a low temperature in order to stop the wood from shrinking or becoming damaged.
If the glass is double-paned, you can bring a piece of the old pane to make sure that the new one will fit properly. Spread a thin layer of silicone sealant over the inside surface of the frame rabbet and press the new glass onto it. Then, trim any excess sealant using a sharp blade and then apply a coat of exterior paint to finish the job.
If you only have one pane of glass to be installed, skip this step and move straight to the next. If the thickness of the new glass differs from the one you had previously, you will have to purchase a piece of glass that is the correct size at the local glass cutter. Put a glazier's pushpoint at every corner of the frame's rabbet before installing the new pane (two per side for windows with small windows, more for large windows). This will add additional support to the pane and help keep it from becoming dislodged as time passes.

This will ensure an extremely tight fitting glass and allow for the natural expansion and contraction. Take the measurements to your local hardware or home improvement store and have them cut a piece of glass for you. Bring a shard of glass from the old window that matches the thickness and shape.
Once the new pane is in place, apply a small bead of latex caulk around the edges to form a seal between the frame and the glass. Glazier's points should be placed into the holes of the frame along the glass edge. You should need two points on each side for an total of eight.
