Pivot shoe

Thanks for posting. I'm afraid it's difficult to say what pivot shoe you need without seeing it removed from the window. The width and thickness of the shoe are also very helpful in determining the right replacement. See the first video below for how to remove your pivot shoe. You will need to remove your channel balance to accomplish this. If your window lacks the cutout that the first video shows, see the second video as well.

I think these are metal windows. Pivot shoe broke. It's about 9/16 thick from what I can measure but I can't pull it out to get it measured yet. Which part should I order and how do I get these things out??

thanks. From what I can get from the broken piece that I can take out and looking at the measurements i can see that it is
2 inches tall
1 1/4 inches wide
depth is about 9/16 to best of my abilities but thats the hard one.

as for cut out - my windows are aluminum i believe. they seem harder than the vinyl stuff.

Hope this helps

My colleague Tom thinks it's the 15-046. This is 1/2" thick rather than 9/16"; but see what you think. The 15-118 is also another possibility, as it seems to cohere to your measurements; but it's difficult to say for sure without having the pivot shoe removed from the window.
