new balancers installed, question

Question

Hello I have a bunch of the old weather shield double hung windows that need new balancers installed, question, in order to get the jam liner out to slide the new balancer and clip on do you have to take all the window casing/trim off? or can the jamb liner pop out after the sashes are removed?
Thank You

For most Weather Shields windows I've worked on, you have to remove both the top and bottom sashes before you can remove the vinyl jamb liner. After the sashes are out, though, it should be a simple matter to get the jamb liners out.
