The spring broke and windows will not stay up

Need new springs. Not sure what kind.

I purchased Reliabilt 5600 series double hung replacement windows and had them installed by Lowe's in 2008. One of them will not stay open. I am not sure how to remove or replace the part which I believe has failed. I believe it's the constant force coil balance. I need to know how to remove and re ... (cont.)
