I am needing assistance with attaching the S400-30 balance pins on my GA window. I can tension the spiral balance ( 3-4 turns clockwise ) but I cannot get it to stay in its clip area. So when I have the tip up in the area of the clip seems I can only get the bottom side to attach not the other side?? Help Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am using a tool that is identical to your tension charging tool.
Also how many turns clockwise to charge the balance?Thanjs

Hi, Marcus. 3-4 turns is perfect for this balance. As for connecting it to the clip, I'm afraid I don't have any advice on that. The fact of the matter is, on some windows it's just hard. I can't tell you how many times I've found myself bending over a window sill trying to squint up into the track to find the track. I've scraped knuckles and I've broken tools, but there's not really a trick to it. I can only tell you to be patient and have a friend hold up the window while you do it.
