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 .
I love you guys, I got 2 chairs and one was unusable dirty but in good shape and the other one was clean and wobbly, I'm so glad I did not throw away the other one
I spent several hours trying to figure out how to fix my office chair, and this video saved me! I'll spare the details, but this video enabled me to fix my office chair by taking the base of an older office chair and replacing the damaged base with that. Thank you !!
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 🙏
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.
Awesome and very helpful. I think the pulling balls you refer to are ball bearings and for some reason my gf’s chair didn’t have them but works great now
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.
my man ima give you a like for this one, i spent an hour trying to do this watching other videos and got nowhere until i found this. i hope you have a awesome rest of the 2022 year
Yes, yes yes much better than the hammer techniques, I’ve seen and it didn’t doesn’t work on every hydraulic chair either! Thank you so much God bless!
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I watched other videos and still struggled to remove the clip. I thought it was a skill issue on my part lol I was able to remove it in seconds with this video.
this is exactly what i was looking for, the cover of my chair is broken, and now i know i can simply replace the cover and not the whole lyft cilinder. Thank you very much for the video!
has two desk chairs that was giving me hell. I needed the metal base for a chair that had a plastic one that broke and the base of this one had a bad underplate. I tried for hours to get them off and I decided to search for the release and your video popped up. all and all ty for making this seem so easy.
You sir are a gentleman and a mechanical scholar. I have an office chair with an excellent base but gas lift is malfunctioning. With your video, the base came off in 10 seconds.Thank you so much.🙂
Struggled for almost half an hour and then try to search it on RUclips and then found this video thank you men for this it seriously helped me out and now i m able to put my chair inside my room whose door is narrow.
Brother you really did me a solid one! I was struggling big time to decouple these 2 parts to fit it in the back of my car. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I cannot express just how much I appreciate this video. It is so much easier to transfer the wheels this way then to remove the gas cylinder. Thanks so much for this video!
OMG I toiled for so many hours with a hammer, based on other videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Question, once this process is finished, how do i get the cylinder out of the wheel base? I will search for that next.
You made it so easy for me, after wondering how to remove it. Thank you for your instruction, it was quick and easy to follow and brought about positive results.
Thank you sir! you saved me money with this one! lol. Broke the base on my office chair - luckily i had a broken one lying around - swapped their bases, and i can use it again. 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
Does not work, the piston is still stuck on the bottom of the seat and the gas container is stuck to the base too. This did nothing but waste my time taking the two pieces apart. I need the whole thing taken out.
Thank you for this! As others stated, the mallet and wrench method didn't work for me either. I, however, did not have those ball bearings in between the cylinder. I also would like to remove the cylinder from the seat. Any suggestions? Still can't seem to wrench it off.
Thanks ever so for this clear and straightforward instruction... so helpful👏 To help others find it, it may be helpful to 'tag' the video for 'Beyou' or add Beyou to title...
I was baffled looking at that piece of clip, wondering how to remove. Now I can order for a base and replace the broken base of my chair. Thank you stdjmax !
Thank you so muchh! I've been dealing with squeaking sound and couldnt get it because it was at the bottom at the pipe, been trying to lube it all the time but still squeaking. Now its all solved! Many thankss!
hi! thank you so much for this video. i tried to reassemble my chair but I won’t hear the click on the clip and it seems like the clip keeps coming off. Am i doing something wrong?
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!!!
😂 a little bit saved
And i'' add to that 2yrs later...lol was going to through it away...Cheers, just hope i can reassemble as good as you!

I swapped the base of my Ikea chair with a Songmics. Now i can rollin'around freely! Thanks a lot!
Your video helped us save one of our favorite office chairs by switching out the bottom with an old chair.
Thanks for your feedback

How do you remove the black cylinder coming up from the base?
Thanks dude, had 2 bad chairs and made 1 good one and was possible only with your video!! Save me a chair
Can i also remove the pole that is attached in the center of chair after separating from piston?
This should've been the first recommended video. Almost broke my chair trying to follow other guides. Thanks a lot. Subscribed!!!
The hammer video didn't have me fooled! This is the way! Thanks!

thx a lot for sharing, removed base in seconds after viewing 20-30 seconds here! ;-)
This video saved my chair thanks.
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
Can't fucking do it : ( this is another fucking engineers idiotic idea...
@@Sponsi_PL you obviously weren't doing it right.
@@dreddnots hit the rod from the bottom with the hammer ? ill try that
Considering I did this myself and it worked perfectly I'd say yes I do know what I was doing thank you. ☺️
@@cengi yeah. Don't hit the rod itself, just the actual legs themselves. With some gentle taps it should eventually come off
superb crisp and clean 🙏🏼🇮🇳😀 👍👌 it helped me
Thanks a lot for the video. Well explained. Helped me fix a chair for my Son's study. Míle Buíochas (a thousand thanks) as we say here in Ireland.
Glad it helped!
Does not work, the piston is still stuck on the bottom of the seat and the gas container is stuck to the base too. This did nothing but waste my time taking the two pieces apart. I need the whole thing taken out.
Thank you so much… Saw so many videos on hammer and nail that I didn’t realize it would be so simple…
Worked perfectly - was able to sort out my wobbly desk chair - thanks bro!!
It's great you make it easy to do. Thanks
Thank you for this! As others stated, the mallet and wrench method didn't work for me either. I, however, did not have those ball bearings in between the cylinder. I also would like to remove the cylinder from the seat. Any suggestions? Still can't seem to wrench it off.

It's a miracle! Thank you so much!!! It works. I never would have discovered this on my own.
I was baffled looking at that piece of clip, wondering how to remove. Now I can order for a base and replace the broken base of my chair. Thank you stdjmax !
