Not sure if one of your pivot bars would work for me, but as you can see from my photos, I will have to take a few things apart to even get to the broken bar. I wish it was easier but I will gladly accept any advice you can give about how to get at the thing as well as which bar you recommend.

Thanks for posting! Looks like you will need to remove those screws at the corners of the sash and then (gently) knock off the bottom rail from the glass. You have to make sure to be careful since you don't want to damage the glass!

And do you recommend a pivot bar that I could order? Or should I remove the bottom rail before ordering?

I see you were looking at our 26-366. That is a possibility, but the only way to be sure is to remove your existing pivot bar so you can confirm the style and dimensions.
