There are several reasons people replace office chair bases. This will hold the office chair and prevent further damage. Another reason could also be that people may switch from office chair bases with casters to office chair bases without casters. Finally, the base of the office chair needs to be replaced. In order to follow this process carefully, it is best to follow these steps accordingly. So we start:
1. If the replacement is done in an office, it is advisable to lay old newspapers or drop clothes on the floor. This will lubricate the oil in the cylinder of the chair base and it must be disassembled in order to remove the base.
2. On newspaper or a drop cloth, place the chair upside down so that the center of the chair base is visible and easy to remove.
3. Look for a clip in the center of the office chair base for easy removal. The best tools are needle-nosed pliers or flat-blade screwdrivers. Once you have the tool, use it to bend the clamp until it opens slightly before sliding it out of the plunger.
4. Remove the gasket located on top of the piston base. No tools are required, just a freehand pull.
5. The base is now loose, so the next step is to twist the base counterclockwise as if unscrewed. After that, carefully remove the base, leaving the base and cylinder (if applicable) attached.
