    Nah, sorry - tried twice on two different chairs, didn't work.
    It looks sooo easy when the lady in the video just turns the pipe wrench at 3:17 - that is the point you realize that either the pipe wrench slips on the pipe, or the chair seat starts to turn off the table, or you're squeezing the wrench so hard that you're damaging the pipe.
    These chairs are not made to be disassembled, which is a waste as the gas cylinder is the first thing that expires, and it would worth to replace it to keep a comfortable chair alive for a couple more years.

      If the problem is the seat won't stay raised, you can strap an aviation clamp around the cylinder near the base while it is extended.
