These nails were used to keep the window in place prior to when double or upvc window lock replacement glazing was made available. Usually these nails are in the corners of the frame and can be removed using a screwdriver if they are exposed, or by cutting them off with hacksaw. If any are hidden, you'll need to make use of a small chisel or putty chisel in order to break them free from the frame.

Clean the grooves where the new glass will go and ensure they are clean and free of dents and cracks. A heat gun can be useful for this, but remember to be careful and utilize a low temperature to stop the wood from warping or causing damage.
If the glass is double-paned you can bring a small piece of the previous pane to check that the new one is positioned correctly. Spread a thin layer silicone sealant over the inside frame rabbet, then press the glass into it. Remove any excess sealant using the blade of a razor, then paint the exterior to finish.
If you only have one glass pane do not bother with this step. If the thickness of your new glass differs from the original then you'll require a new piece of glass that is the appropriate size at the local glass cutter.
