Pivot bar broke

Question

the pivot bar on my tilting window broke off inside. How do I remove the broken piece so I can replace with a new bar. I removed the screw, but cannot get remaining piece of the bar to come up far enough to pull out.Any help would be appreciated.

After you remove the screw, the rest of the pivot bar should just come out. If not, you can try pushing it into the window. The track where a pivot bar installs is hollow from one end of the sash to the other, so there's plenty of room. You can just push it deeper with the new pivot bar.
