Window Repair: Replacing Block and Tackle window balances

Block and tackle window balance repair. Don't waste your time trying to repair broken strings on these things. Just replace the block and tackle balances, it's fairly easy with the right tools.
Currently one of the most popular choices, block and tackle window balance systems include a combination of two or more pulleys, a cord and a spring. The pulleys are grouped as the “block” to reduce the load the homeowner feels. In addition, as the cord (or “tackle”) is pulled by the movement of the sash it stretches or compresses the springs, which are weighted to match the sash weight. The pulleys and springs assist with opening and closing the window.

Thanks! That was easier than I thought. My balance pulleys were still good, just lubed with a little bicycle oil and put them back on.

What's the name of the top part of the sash that holds the balancer in? That's broken and I'm trying to figure out the part name to order.

My balances are integrated into the sash and there aren't any take out clips. The strings are however anchored into the window frame channel. What do you call this type of balance mechanism? I:m trying to figure out how to repair. Thanks 🙏👍
