Step 1: Remove the window casing and sash
The window casing, or front stop, conceals the door to the window weight and holds the sash in place. To remove the casing, first use a utility knife to cut the paint along the edge of the front stop. Use a screwdriver to remove any screws that hold the stop in place, and then use a hammer and flat pry bar to slowly work the front stop away from the frame. With the stop removed, rotate and remove the lower window sash. Remove the old sash cord from the channel on both sides of the window sash.
 Use a pry bar to work the front stop away.
