    • 1). Lift the window up. Inspect the top of the window track and remove the U-shaped window stop with a screwdriver.

    • 2). Push in the tabs on the top of the window and lean the window toward you. Tip one side higher to remove the window from the track.

    • 5). Attach the new balance with the screw included in the window balance kit.

    • 6). Hold the spiral on the new balance with the tensioning tool and turn the screw clockwise six times.
