Using your technique I was able to replace a broken shoe... So thanks! One change I made was I gave up on using a blade and used my dremel to cut out the openings

[@Kohltech]

jMon a dremel is a good idea if the blade isn’t working for you

nice

[@andrewwhite1793]

The springs are proprietary, so when they decide not to make the springs any more the only fix are new windows...

[@dartellomega6573]

Andrew, that may be true, but it looks like he used a SIMILAR coil spring to what was standard in his window, and he made it work (had to attach the spring holder clip which original equipment did not have), am I correct?

@@dartellomega6573 Hi, I found the correct springs from Swisco in the USA. Bought a few to try, then bought enough as spares to outlast the windows 🙂

@@haipengxu This is not my trade. I just had constant force springs from Swisco for my windows, but they are worth searching for other parts.

[@Kohltech]

Hi Andrew, If we were to change our supply, we would maintain a certain level of discontinued parts for future maintenance/purchase requirements. Should the part be discontinued and stock depleted, we can usually recommend a good replacement. They would need to be our windows, however. Hope this helps.

Why the fuck did he cut the plastic of jamb?? That was uncalled for.

[@dartellomega6573]

Duh Mike: the spring coil cant be removed from an uncut channel, its to narrow, so he cut a wider notch so he could remove the old springs- thats what im facing now...

@@dartellomega6573 Exactly! I'm trying to figure out how to go about it myself, I have three windows I have to work on. I don't want to mess them up.
