Pivot shoe is damaged on 25 year old double hung aluminum tilt window. Problem is to remove pivot shoe. There is a black plastic insert held by a screw which is quite stubborn and will not allow me to remove pivot shoe. Is there a way to remove old shoe without dislodging this plastic strip or do I have to remove strip to remove the shoe and install the new one? Of course screw comes out of strip but strip is stubborn. The bottom window slides up and down on this strip. The best I can measure of shoe is 1 7/8" hi x 1" wide x 3/8" thick as your
15-045 is. Bottom line is how to safely dislodge plastic strip without damaging top window so I can remove shoe. Thanks for your help and interest. Al
