I would like to replace the spiral balance on my single hung (non removable) aluminum windows but I can't figure out how to remove the clip on the window that the bottom of the spiral hooks into. There are no screws or attachment points I can see on the outside of the window, so I can't figure out how to remove that clip so I can remove the balance for replacement. Since the window cannot be removed, I don't know how to go about getting the clip off to replace the balance.

Here are pics of the inside of the window (you can see that the spiral balance just hangs down now.

I question the "non-removable window" premise. – The Evil Greebo Feb 21 '12 at 20:42
Oops, sorry - I'd like to see more pictures - of the frame at large, of the individual windows, etc. Typically a DH window is removable by removing mounting points set inside the window frame. – The Evil Greebo Feb 21 '12 at 20:43
