Thank you for your post. I had bought a new cylinder, stand, and wheels. I have watched several videos of replacing cylinder, and yours seemed the less hassle of all, I just ordered the tool, maybe you should require a fee for advertising. Good job

My new favorite reviewer. Love Richard's sense of humor. Love the buildup. The suspense, the feeling of hopelessness only to be flushed with elation as the piston pops off unexpectedly and instantly. I just bought one.

Pipe wrench worked for me, slick as a whistle. I used a bigger wrench though. I had a harder time hammering the piston out of the chair base - I used a 5 gallon pail with the base inverted, and hammered it with a sledge and a wood block.

Thanks for this! I have an Autonomous ErgoChair that has been out of commission for months bc I couldn't get this thing out. Their video makes it look like a little love tap will release it, I've been hulk smashing it and it doesn't budge! Gonna grab one from Amazon. Ty again!

That tool did not work at all for me. Had to get a refund. They were cool about it but it was painful. I still haven't been able to get it off.

Well, I didn’t have the little ringey tool, but I took off the chair seat and mounted that base in a big vise and ended up putting a 4’ snlpe on a pipe wrench to twist the cylinder which came right out. I didn’t mangle the aluminum base but couldn’t get the other end of the cylinder out by banging on it with an 8# sledge, so I took it to my neighbor and used his 20,000# hydraulic press and it came right out. Re-assembly was a “snap”.

After using all the hints to remove the cylinder, which I’ve decided is welded, because there’s no budge. I’m gonna put the chair back together and use “banding” to hold the seat at the top position. At some point I’ll order a new chair, but it’s not used daily and I think the “hack” might be sufficient.😊

wow. god bless ya for stickin with it my man. im on hour 4 using that tool. the destructions say to keep both clamps as close together as possible. so far thats not working. i see you had yours gapped apart. im gonna try that next i guess

@richardlelandneal7888 17 күн бұрын

well, they push on each other but one needs to push against the chair and the other needs to be tight on the cylinder. If they don't move apart then it will not work

I've been struggling with this exact same problem. Using the same replacement cylinder kit and tool. Pipe wrench and PB Blaster has not worked. Maybe I'll try it again. A 25 year old, expensive commercial office chair.

@richardlelandneal7888 3 жыл бұрын

are you making sure the top part is tight and the bottom part is loose? And you got to switch screws every few turns.

@@richardlelandneal7888 yes, that's exactly what I did. Ended up getting a metal ring that flanges out. Fits perfectly over the cylinder housing and you just wail away on it while pulling up on the cylinder as the chair hangs upside down. Finally after a few bangs in different spots around the flange, it drops out. $16 on Amazon.

@@TheRazvancristian from what I gather they are, they have different weight capacities and a tool piston will be too tall, but a chair piston will fit in your chair most likely. You could measure it to be sure
