Best tutorial for replacing a quick tilt coil balance

Question

I just ordered the correct parts I need to replace the broken coil balances in the windows of a home I am rehabbing.  I am handy and a quick study, but I have never undertaken this task before and I was wondering if anyone has a link to a good tutorial (written or video) to help guide me in replacing the coil balances? All advice would be appreciated so that I don't screw it up or lose a finger in the process. Thank you!

Before installing the S140-6 balance system, I place the bottom sash in the closed position and with a pencil, mark where the tilt latch is on the track. Next, remove the sash and line up the top of the S140-6 just below the mark and screw the balance to the track. With a flat tip screw driver inserted in the metal cam, bring the pivot shoe down about 6-8". Turn the cam to the up position to lock it. Repeat the other side and install the sash. Get back to us and let us know if this helps.
