Window Removal and Installation
1. First, remove the inside stop from the side jambs with a chisel and hammer (figure A). Then, remove the bottom sash which is the main part of the window itself.
2. Take out the center stop so you can pull out the top sash. Next, use a hammer to tear out the weather strip.
3. With an older window, remove the old pulleys, pull out the old sash weights and cut the ropes (figure B).
4. Dry fit your top sash and then secure it into place by screwing the top brackets into the window frame and the sash. Pre-drill if necessary.
5. Place the first bracket about four inches down from the top. Install bottom bracket two inches up from bottom of top sash, and space the remaining ones evenly in between.
6. Next, install the lower sash filler blocks. Secure them to the frame beneath the top sash using a nail gun.
7. Screw in the vinyl jamb liner brackets. Place the jamb liner securely against the frame of the window and parallel to the lower sash filler block (figure C).
8. Snap the jamb liner into place on the brackets.
9. Install lower sash by sliding the pivot pin into the groove of the jamb liner and snap it into the sash balance on each side.
10. Lift the lower sash into place and test window operation.
11. The window is finished (figure D).
