Should be a couple/few screws attaching the body to the window frame. Open the window, remove 'em, and the whole thing should wiggle out of the window. Look at what you're doing, and you'll figure it out. The arm will slide out the channel on the bottom of the window. Measure the length from the pivot pin to the end of the arm, either 8 or 9 inches, usually. Right or left handed. Go to the hardware store, and buy a new one. Of course, if the sill's been tiled, or built up in any way, things will be tougher... Tom
