Broken single-coil constant force window balance

Question

the window balance broke on my window. How do I get the right balence. What does the 8 mean and what does the 6 mean. Should I replace the other side balence now that it has extra tension on it?

Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you but we'll need to see the front of the pivot shoe the coil spring connects to. That will help us narrow down your options. The 8 on the stamp will indicate the strength option you need once we identify the series. Thank you!
