Coil Balance

Question

I don't know the # of this balance. The cover shattered when I tried to move it, but I included a picture of the one still installed.
These windows have no take out notch, they are older and even spearfish f the jamb, I couldn't get it out. I cut a notch at the top, is that the best method? I will need 20 balances and 20 pivot bars. The pivot bars are 3 inches.

Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm not 100% sure what this balance might be, though I have some ideas. Before I recommend anything, can you show me a clear picture of the pivot shoe the springs attach to? That will let me know for sure what you need.

For the pivot bar, I recommend the 26-241. This isn't exactly the same as your original but should work fine.

Finally, concerning removing the balance assembly, you will want to make your own cutout if there isn't one already. The video below will give you step by step instructions.
