    You are a lifesaver, my man. Struggled for two hours to figure it out without a mallet/wrench and this method had it come off in seconds. Thank you!!!

    Greetings from India:
    This video saved my day. I was hammering the hydraulic for one hour.
    Finally, tired, i thought to check on RUclips and then it solved my problem in less than 30 seconds.
    Many Many Thanks .

    Thank you. I bought a foot rest online to attach it in my ikea chair base. I watched several YT videos and look for "how to guides" in forums in disassembling the chair few days ago but the best I got is hammering the base out of it. So today after hammering the base with my wrench 3 times with mediocre intensity, I thought I should try to search for instructional video in youtube for one last time. And by miracle, this video is the second one in the search result.
    Thank you chair angel 👼. You have saved another chair's life today 🙏

  • @sharper58
    @sharper58 5 месяцев назад

    Oh my word. I built a new PC a year ago and got myself a new chair to go with it, well, today one of the slots the wheels go into in the base gave out and I was ready to buy a new chair. On a whim I searched to see if you could replace office chair bases and was directed to your video. I never knew this was possible. You sir, saved me the cost of a new chair so thankyou, thankyou a lot.

  • @gogofuture8271

    To say that I’m grateful for this video would be an understatement. I broke the wheel and then arm off the base on one chair and I have a second chair that’s the right size and a lot nicer. So I’m gonna take the base off of the old one and swap it. Fantastic and thank you.

    Also for those of you that are trying to get the whole unit out, once you complete this step, to get the rod out youll need a hammer and to smack the base of the chair and it should pop out with enough force. Make sure to be holding it upside down as well
