Thank you for posting, and for the great questions. I'll go through them one by one.
1. PIVOT SHOE. When a pivot shoe goes, you'll know. You really should replace them if they're worn down and no longer able to lock, or if they're simply brittle and broken. Yours look to be in good condition, but if you want to replace it, check out our 15-111 and see how that might do. 2. COIL SUPPORT. I actually think our 15-150D might be a better choice for the coil support. No bushings should be necessary for this type of support. 3. COIL. We don't have an instructional video for this particular system, but they would just hook inside the pivot shoe. No screws are necessary. I think yours might be our S160-6, but see if you agree. You would have to check the springs on the other side to get the other number on it. As for why the centers are different, I'd say it's because they're busted. 4. TRACK OPENING. Is there a cut out anywhere in the jamb? Look around carefully, especially near the top under the sash stop. If not, check out the videos at the bottom of this post to see the best way of removing your hardware. 5. PIVOT RETAINERS. 15-149 is a good choice, I think. It's a good thing to keep the spring intact. |

No problem! The coil springs should be facing towards the track closest to you, so that you don't see them when moving the sash up and down.
