Default Aluminum Windows

Can anyone tell me how to take out the lower (moveable) window in an old
single hung alum. window? I have to replace part of the locking mechanism
that is on the fixed window.
Thanks

On all the ones I have worked with there is a "hinged stop" at the top of
one or both sides. Raise that, slide the window to the highest position,
push to one side and pull it toward the room. Then disconnect the lift
mechanism, the disconnect method varies, and you have it out.
