To allow for seasonal expansion or contraction and contraction, subtract 1/8 inch from the measurements of the width and height. Bring these measurements to an hardware store or home center and get a piece of stock glass cut to size. Alternately, you can cut the glass yourself if have the tools you need.
After installing the glass, apply a small amount of caulking on the edges. This will make the glass weatherproof.

Place the new pane in the frame and press it in place by using your hands. Use the point of the chisel, or the back of the putty knife to tap the glazier's points, as illustrated in Figure 11. The glazier's point should be in line with the top edge of the pane and the shoulders should be just below that lip.

When the glazing compound is dry it's time to put in the new window sash. First, coat the wood with a thick layer of linseed. This will stop the new putty from taking up moisture and deteriorating and cracking over time. Apply the coating using a brush this coat, or the point of the putty blade.

Remove the glazing points in the rabbets. These are the grooves on the sash, where the glass is located. If they're hard to chisel out, try placing a hand tool like a heat gun to soften them before you do. If you're using a heating gun, be cautious not to scratch the railings of the sash or the sash itself by placing the tool too closely.
Once the old points of glazing and putty have been removed, make a bed for the new pane. Roll a rope of glazing compound between your fingers and then make it about 1/2 inch thick. Press it into the rabbets, where the glass will be put. The glass must rest against the putty on both sides. If necessary, lightly tap your glass into the rabbet using your thumb.

After you have the old pane taken away, clean up the surrounding frame and wood. Scrape off any paint that has been used and sand down the rabbet grooves that the glazing points were. Sand them to bare wood surfaces, so that you can paint the frames the same color. After the sanding process, apply a coat of flax oil to the bare wood to help extend its lifespan.
Next, measure the width of the window's opening. You'll need to take horizontal and vertical measurements of the entire opening and also the thickness of the old pane.

Take these measurements to your local hardware or home improvement store and ask them to cut you a piece cut for you.
