Alternatively when separating the gas lift from the legs, you can hit the leg part down instead.

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.

@@strawhousepig I already had a replacement cylinder, and because I want to be able to raise and lower it using the handle. I actually found a tutorial that showed you don’t need brute strength or pipe wrench. Just need to tap it in the right place. 3 taps with a hammer and it popped right off.

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.
