Use a sharp chisel and prise of the beads and lift out the inner sash.  You may need to do the same with the top sash of the windows.

The weights will be behind the weight cover normally toward the bottom of the sash window, which you will need to remove, it might be screwed in .

Remove the nails from the broken cord  that secure it to the groove  after pulling the weight through the weight box. 

 Feed the new cord  over the pulley by tying a piece of string to it first, then feed that over the pulley until you can reach it and pull it through. Tie the end of the cord then untie the string you used to pull it through.  Now tie the weight to the cord .

Put the top sash back onto its side of the window frame making sure that the bottom of the sash is about 4 inches above the window cill. Then pull the new cord until you hear it hit the top of the box .Nail the cord with the weight in this position.  Next replace the sash, the new weight will fall. as you push the sash window up, 

Do the same for the inside sash making sure the sash weight is at the top of the box when the window is at the bottom. 

Now refit the beads, if you break one, save it and take it to your local builders merchant or carpentry suppliers to get a exact replacement.

Its a good idea to remove any flaky paint and sandpaper the surfaces the windows run on while you have got access.

Dont forget to treat or paint any areas you can see exposed wood being careful not to paint over the joints and jam the sash windows
