Great video...I was 63 yrs young when I learned this from you. Tks

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you! And you're welcome, happy to share 🙌👍

[@gandl2123]

I was getting ready to order that special tool or try to find it... When I looked in my toolbox and I had a little forage long orange screwdriver with a pic on the end of it curved... It worked. Perfect to touch in the rod and then put it in place and then get out of it. Didn't even have to buy the tool. :)

[@JonnyDIY]

@@gandl2123Nice! That's awesome, glad you got it done and didn't have to get another tool 👍 I always enjoy making a tool too

[@richardsweatman9396]

Very helpful. My window was a spring balance with broken feet not spiral but this video got me started.

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you, happy to help. I have another video with spring balances if you havent finished already 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6i8n6WMeal-sLMsi=Y-k62ONzICRAluOd

[@jonesbones1355]

My son broke his finger when his window balance broke. Thank you for this video so i know how to prevent further injurys

[@JonnyDIY]

Sorry to hear about the finger. Hope it heals quickly and window gets fixed too 🙏

[@erikerin2016]

Great job. Have two balances that somehow released from the window and used your video to remove and potentially reuse. The tool is key to this repair/replacement. Tried with needle-nose pliers, dentist type pick and to no avail. Good, simple and to the point video...Thanks!

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome, happy I could help you out 👍 yeah that little tool is the only way to go with these things.

[@lightgigas]

That's awesome i didn't know you could change those 😀 we have a couple windows that need this done.

[@JonnyDIY]

Yeah they're pretty cool how they work and relatively easy to change/service 👍

[@vicgammill5444]

Nice. Never done it, didn't want to break anything. I understand the assembly and adjuster mechanism now. Remove to replace like for like. Good work on the video.

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you, happy to help. Good luck 👍

[@RichKessler3]

what do you recommend for a balance shoe? Might as well replace everything if I'm doing it

[@SidraGaines]

Thank you for this video! Do you have a video on how to remove the bottom half of the window? I need to replace the glass.

[@JonnyDIY]

No sorry, each window is a little different and not all even allow you to remove bottom. Only in last 20ish years have those become a thing really. Search "how to remove bottom window sash" and see if can find a similar window. If it is a removable window it's a simple process usually pull up window holding button and tilt back

[@gsjarvis6669]

How did you determine the old balance was broken as you were removing it? I wish I knew what is inside the tube. Is there a spring inside?

[@JonnyDIY]

Most of them were all bent and damaged. It's a spiral piece of metal on these type ones that create the tension 👍

[@benjaminchen1131]

Very good channel! Can you tell me where I can get these Spiral window balance? Thank you very much!

[@JonnyDIY]

I got them on Swisco . com 👍 take your time determining which ones you need. They're helpful with questions too

[@benjaminchen1131]

Thank you & have a nice weekend!@@JonnyDIY

[@JonnyDIY]

@@benjaminchen1131 you're welcome, you too 👍

How to change the glass for this model

[@JonnyDIY]

I have a video I need to release where I did exactly that. I heated up the glue around the glass pane with heat gun (could use small torch or hair dryer too) and pushed it out from inside. Then got replacement glass cut at local glass shop and put a bead of silicone around opening then placed glass on top of that. Then another bead around it and that was it 👍

[@shottie26]

My top window panel won't saty up. I have to push it up to lock it in place so it won't fall down. How can I fix that

[@JonnyDIY]

Depends on the kind of balances it uses. I have another video showing a different type here kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6i8n6WMeal-sLM

[@SVServicesINC]

how do you remove the window to replace the glass

[@JonnyDIY]

Depends on window. Some the sliding part can be removed. Some not. If not or on fixed part you'll have to remove glass with it in wall. Use a heat gun to loosen glue or glazing and push out 👍
