Hello,

We'd be happy to help but we would need to see your coils and housing uninstalled to compare to our inventory. We've also related a few videos to help you through the replacement process. Thank you!

We don't have a video guide on this exact part, but we do have a guide on a very similar assembly that uninstalls in more or less the same way, but with a few differences. I recommend watching that first to get a good idea of how these work.

Now, the major differences between the balance in this video and the balance in your window is that your springs attach to a bracket that's screwed in at the top of your window. What you'll have to do is unlock the pivot shoe with a screwdriver, bring the whole assembly up to that bracket, and then lift it up a little more by hand to disengage the spring from that bracket. That will free up your pivot assembly and allow you to remove it.

Refer to the diagram below for an idea of how your assembly looks in the window track.

One last note: this isn't exactly the easiest project in the world. If you're not that handy, then you should contact a local professional to come out and do it for you.
