Broken spiral balances

A quick learner from Nashville TN says:

May 2, 2023

Spiral balances in my windows are in rather bad shape from a lack of proper maintenance over the years and one of them snapped. After watching a few of your videos, I am certain I can replace the balances. Could you help me make sure I order the correct ones?

They are in a plastic tube that changes the length and I am not sure which measurement to order.

Tip - red
The length of the plastic tube is 33 7/8
The length of the metal coil inside is 33 3/8
The diameter of the tube is 9/16 so I guess 5/8 should be good based on your video

Could you also help me select the tool to assist with installation and removal?

Kind Regards,

Mgada

Based on the photos and information you've provided, take a look at the S600-34 spiral balance for tilt windows. You will also need a red-tip strength option. As for a charging tool, see the 75-006 for tilt windows. Take a look at the specifications on our product pages and the videos related on this page for more information. Thank you!
