15-177?

If yes, do you have instructions on how to replace? The coil is still working and is a struggle to deal with.

That's not our 15-177. I think a better match would be the 15-175.

As for replacement, we have a couple of videos that you may find helpful. I will link them below.

Great! Thanks!

What is the best way to dig a shoe "up" when it's slipped to the bottom of its track and won't budge? The fastener is broken so I can turn it to unfasten. Bottom of shoe is ALL the way down so I can't wedge a slot driver under the base to start upward movement. Ideas?

Photos are too fuzzy. I have a video if there is a way to submit that.

I would first try spraying WD-40 on the entire pivot to see if that loosens it. If not, go to the top and carefully unscrew the coil spring. Be very careful, though; use locking pliers on the coil spring to hold it firmly in place since it is under tension. If you aren't careful it will shoot out of your grip and you could damage the window or even hurt yourself. Make sure to wear gloves and goggles.

Once you have a grip on the coil spring, try pulling up on the pivot shoe. See if that gets it out of position.
