Use a wood chisel, or putty knives, to take away any old putty remaining around the frame and window sash. Work slowly and carefully and be careful not to break the current window sash. It is recommended to do this on a stable ladder rather than the ground and to have someone stand below the sash to help hold it in place.
Make sure the window frame is ready to accommodate the new pane after you have removed the old glue. Measure the width and height of the opening for the sash by subtracting 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). These measurements can be sent to an hardware or home centers store to have a piece cut of glass stock to the proper size. You can also cut the glass by yourself if you have the appropriate tools.
After putting in the new glass, apply some caulking around the edge. This will make the glass weatherproof. Then install a glazier's point on each side of the frame to secure the pane into the right place. The points should not be tight enough to cause friction between the frame and the sash however they should not be loose.
Before putting the putty on, knead it thoroughly until it is smooth and free of lumps. Roll it into pencil-sized strips. Apply the first strip in the corner of the frame, working from one corner to another to ensure it is smooth and even.
Glazier's Points
The glazier's points are small triangular pieces of steel that help secure the glass into the window frame without causing any damage to the fragile surface. It's easy to learn how to use this secret tool and you can save money on the cost of an expert installation.
After the old putty as well as the glazier's point are gone Clean the frame thoroughly using a utility knife to eliminate any remaining residue.

Note down the dimensions of the frame. These measurements can be taken to a home center or hardware store and the new pane will be cut slightly smaller. This will ensure that the pane fits perfectly and allows for expansion and contraction.
Place the new pane in the frame and push it in place by using your hands. Use the point of the chisel or the back of the putty blade to tap in the glazier's points, as shown in Figure 11. After you're done, the points should be in line with the top edge of the pane and the shoulders of the points should be just below the rabbet's rim groove.
Apply a thin layer glazing compound on the rabbet grooves and edges of the glass. This will seal and protect the edges. Allow it to dry and cure completely.
Once the glazing compound has dried it's time to put in the new window sash. First, saturate the wood with a heavy coat of Linseed oil. This will prevent the new putty from taking up the moisture and drying out and cracking over time. Apply the coat using a brush or the edge of your putty knife, and then use the chisel, or the back end from the putty knife to gently hammer in the new sash and glazier's points into the grooves of the rabbet. Repeat this process in intervals of 10 inches around the frame.

Once the sash is put back in place then, you can apply a silicone caulk over the glass. This will ensure that it doesn't be leaking or fade over time.
Remove the glazing points from the rabbets. These are the grooves in the sash where the glass is located. If they're hard to chisel out, try placing an instrument like a heat gun to soften them first. When using a heat tool, be careful to not scratch the sash and its railings.
Make the bed for your new pane after you have removed the old putty and glazing points. Roll a rope of glazing compound between your hands, and form it to be about 1/2-inch thick. Place it into the rabbets where the glass will be put. The glass must rest against the putty on both sides. If needed you want to tap your glass lightly into the rabbet with your thumb.
If the new pane has cracked, you can use a silicone caulk or glass glue that is based on solvents to cover the crack before pressing it in the sash. In other cases, you'll need to apply putty over the crack to form an airtight seal and keep water out.
