Personally...I like Brains' answer...I have heard of that, but, my only thought would be..If it's that old that it's deteriorating, the odds increase, to break the lead and or the glass when you try to do the job.....
My thoughts are...Is there trim around the window?...If so, remove that carefully and remove the pin nails or corner clamps and pop the window out...
I don't know...hmmmmm...If you don't give a chit about the glass....Heck, just smack it, clean the mess, measure, order and install.... :)...Have fun....Yukoneze....

I believe there is a method where you replace the original lead, which I assume is cracked? By melting down replacement lead, and pouring it into the seam between the glass! A net site should have more information on it for you! I hope you are successful!

Yes. Cut the lead at the corners with a sharp Knife . Peel back the edges and take out the glass.
Cut a piece of glass so that it just fits neatly, bed it in very soft putty and push the edges of the lead back into place.. The putty can then be stained with black shoe polish
