First, make sure you raise the sash up a few inches before you tilt it in. That's an important step. If that still doesn't work, then there may be a way around it.
What kind of spiral balances are they? If you have tilt window spiral balances like our Series 600 then you may not have to remove the sash at all. You just need to get access to the bottom of the spiral as it attaches to the pivot shoe. It would be a little trickier getting out and replacing, but if you have no other option then it's worth a try. |

Well, you could also tilt the window sash in and loosen the tilt bar just enough so you can slide it out of the shoe. With a 3/8" diameter tube, you could have our Series 900 spiral balance.

The tilt bar is typically a piece of metal that is installed into the bottom of a tilt window sash. It's the piece that fits into the pivot shoe itself. Take a look at our tilt bar section to get a good idea of what they look like.
