It is recommended that you wear gloves made of leather and eye protection when working around the glass as it can be very dangerous.
To begin removing the putty, first take out any nails or spriggs holding the window in place. These nails were used to keep the window in place before upvc or double glazing was available. The majority of these nails are located in the corners of the frame and can be removed using the screwdriver if they're exposed or by cutting them off with a hacksaw. If there are any that are hidden, you'll have to use a small chisel or putty chisel to cut them off from the frame.
Mineral spirits are needed to take off any old putty left after removing the nail. The product is available at most hardware stores. It should be used in a location that is well ventilated. Use the oil in brief intervals, as overheating paint or wood can make it crack or explode.
A heat gun can also be utilized to soften the putty. This will work better on putty that has been painted over or is hardened and can be extremely effective. Be sure to move when using a heat gun. If you keep it in the same place for too long, the wood may be burned and the glass cracked.

Once you have a clear view of the metal then use needle-nose pliers to hold each one in your hands and pull it out straight. Do not pull too in a way that is too hard. If the point is stubborn or breaks, it may damage the frame.

A heat gun is useful for this, but remember to be careful and use a low temperature to stop the wood from bending or deteriorating.
