Looking for guidance to fix my windows

Question

Hi,

I have about 18 windows that needs to be resealed and replace the tilt block and tackle.

I have read a lot of posts and watched some videos and I believe that my windows internal parts are swisco.

One of the videos you guys presented onto how to repair the window balance, you guys showed that there is an interior peace that I can remove in order to repair and replace the window balance. I am pretty sure that I don't have that interior peace as I will show in pictures.

Could please provide some guidance? I'm looking to replace all my window balances and replace all my windows seals.

Hello! By interior piece, are you referring to the trim stop that you're meant to unscrew in order to remove the jamb?

If so, not all windows in your style have these. Your case is a little bit more old fashioned. You will need to remove the sash first and then pull the jambs out by hand. There isn't really a trick to this, the sash just tilts in and pulls out. Once it's removed, the jambs should be free to remove; they aren't screwed in or anything, they're held in place with the sash pressing against them. Hopefully that makes sense.
