Double hung window balances

[macrak4]

Hi.  After 28 years the spiral balance in one of my front windows has quit in me.  Quote to repair $420.  

Happy to DIY but while there are plenty of videos out there for DH windows, I can't find instructions form my Boral window.  Have you replaced one? Was it difficult? Do you have instructions?  Thanks

Hi @Regnthville 

I had to repair a couple of very old timber windows using this same twisted balanced rod system and found it very challenging to say the least. It took weeks to source the parts and then the windows were so badly seized it took a few hours for each one. being aluminium, yours will be a lot newer and hopefully a lot easier to replace. But unfortunately I can't offer any insight as I basically fumbled my way through the changeover with little exact style help from Mr YouTube. I would be considering calling in an expert.
