Broken pivot shoe

Hi, your videos are very helpful; however, I'm still not sure which parts to order. I definitely need the pivot shoe, but do I also need to replace the coil balance? They seem to be connected in a way that requires replacement of both. Also one of the videos mentioned that if I replace the pivot shoe I also need to replace the pin at the base of the window. Please advice all parts necessary for a proper fit to my tilt out window (certainteed window 39" x 52" circa 2003). Thanks

Hello there!
Our 15-192 is my recommendation for the pivot shoe. Your old springs should be compatible with this but if they're broken you'll need to replace them. They're usually screwed to the side of the pivot shoe. For new springs, see the S170 and S171. As for the pivot bar, you can reuse it if it's in good condition.
Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hello! I ordered and installed the pivot shoe. Unfortunately the shoe won't slide down into the channel. The small protrusions and the depth of the shoe is too wide to slide into the channel. What are my options? Is there a smaller pivot shoe? Thanks
