Thank you so much!!! You probably saved me $100.00 or more!!!!! Took like, 20min to repair. Much appreciated friend. Peter

Awesome video. I purchased a used Aeron over the weekend, and the adjustment to help the chair lean forward is broken. This is very helpful.

This video helped me fix a chair I purchased today. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Thank You for Posting this!!! I finally decided to google repair options for my fave Aeron chair. This is just whats wrong with mine. Ive been stuffing pillows under the seat but they always slide out the back... I hope my repair is as simple as yours. On my list to try tomorrow.

I have the opposite problem. Mine won't tilt at all. It seems to be stuck in the upright position and the levers don't do anything.

Thank you for this, very helpful.

Thank you, 5 minutes and totally fixed!

This is exactly my problem, will try this out shortly and report back. Thanks for sharing!

I'll try this tonight. Thanks!!

This may have been made 8 years ago but it helped me out today and I fixed my chair

Great tutorial! Thank you

Great video. Very useful. My tilt locks and stays locked until you get up off the seat at which point the tilt unlocks, requiring you to lock it again once you sit down.

Mine was broken, the tilt gear part was 20 euro on eBay and easy to replace. But I first scrw a tech screw to join it and worked wonders for a while

Can you make a video on installing the forward limiter please?

Same fault has just happened to my Aeron, hope it's the same fix! Also, the arms on mine gradually slide down the adjustment guides, the finger wheels don't fully lock them.

Thanks, I just fixed the tilt on my chair after putting up with it being broken for 10 years. But why is it even necessary to undo the 4 screws and remove the seat? It's possible to take the cover off the box in the middle and access the tilt chain without doing this.

I came to figure out why the heck do chairs sometimes it tilts and sometimes it doesn't. And I just figured out my chair. The lift/drop lever is also the tilt lock, just had to pull it outwards instead of lift/drop. I just got my chair today and was already wanting to throw it away, but I got it figured out now. edit: yup this video helped me. I didn't know chairs have a tilt lever.

1:50 you make this look soo easy. I'm struggling to make any head way. I even have those same tools. Seriously what is the trick with the clips, can you show some more angles of the actual clips and top cover?

If the tilt is locked, rotate a lot the + / - knob, a lot until it unlocks

thanks for the video, but with my aeron I can't tilt back at all, it seems to be locked. what do u think? thanks

thanks!

I got a second hand Aeron and think the tilt is broken. Is it very common for the Aeron tilt to break?

I just bought a 2003 Aeron size B. The tilt tension adjustment does not seem to work. Any tips?

what if the little plastic pen is broken? is there a replacement part?

my size C has a very very tight tilt limiter lever. which part of my aeron do you suppose had gone bad?

facing same broken pin issue-is there a company that sells parts for the chair?

My tilt is fine but it won't hold its integrity, any1 know the fix?

can you tell me what screwdrivers i need for this

Mine issue is slightly different. it will lock but if i put to much weight on the back it will become unlocked giving you a real OH crap moment! Good to know about the pin and how this mechanism works.

do you know where i can get a hip pivot bolt for the chair

Is there a way to install front tilt one a chair without it?

Good video, but can be done without the removal of the seat in 5 mins tops. Problem I am having is that the metal part keeps sliding off the plastic pin so I have to rinse repeat the same thing over and over again. I did not have any clamps so I decided to use some superglue to make the PIN thicker on on end. So far it hasn't come off again :) Great vid tho, thanks for sharing this!

I have rhe killabee gaming chair but almost no videos exist of showing how to repair tilt thing. Mine is 2 weeks old and the tilt give out, so I can lean back at will without fiddling the lock. This makes for a terrible chair. Any idea of repairing is simular to ass seen in this video?

Thank you so much for this. Just fixed my chair. Have to vent for a second though because my pin keeps coming undone! Can't believe they give this chair all these accolades for engineering and design.

Hey guys as I tilt back and forward there is a point where it wobbles. Anyone else know a fix for this?

What type of wrench / Allen key do we need to open the screws?

i can't, for the life of me, turn those screws...any ideas?

The guy makes it look easy.

"you need a (mumble,mumble)" After carefully listening I hear, "allen wrench". What size? Metric? SAE? After that I moved on to a different how to that actually told me what I'd need.

hey my chair locks on back tilt but it doesn't save its position...everytime I sit on it I have to set it...I feel like it didn't come like this...can I repair this like in your video?

I noticed your chair has only the rear tilt lever but has a slot for the forward tilt lever. Mine is the same. Do they make chairs with different tilt options? Every photo I see of the chairs online show them with both levers on the tilt side for forward and backward tilt.

Mine is new and I feel like the chair is tilting forward making me feel like I’m falling forward out of chair

how do you replace the piece if the pin is broken?

if the pin is broken what do lol i don't have a metal lave

seems like you could ha e screwed or unscrewed everything on your own time....hard to watch....
