Hey. Awesome video. I’m excited to fix this. Where do you order these parts? Is there a link you can provide?

I enjoyed this video. It looked so easy I decided to try it myself. I worked for hours and finally installed a new pawl and rack. Sad to say it didn’t fix the problem. If you rock back and raise the foot rest it slips back. What now?

Hello, I just bought a Rowan wall recliner from Lay-z-Boy. The base seems to have a little play in it and the chair seems wobbly, meaning the base moves back and forth with slight pressure. It does not stay planted like my old recliner. I feel it may be missing a spring. Does this sound normal to you?

Until, say, la z boy can offer a recliner with seat foam option that is high resiliency foam that is at least a 2.5lb density with at least a 35 ILD - i can't buy one, as I'll be sitting in the thing all day every day. Comparable back padding to match as well. I may have to shop for commercial grade furniture in order to fit my need; sad. Brother, with your experience with la z boy failures, you could literally redesign their recliner using better, longer lasting components and then sell them online - I'd would buy that recliner from you!

It looks like when I go buy a brand new recliner, i'll have to immediately take it to an upholsterer and have the back and the seat foam replaced with better material...that is tragic. Maybe I should be shopping for commercial grade furniture :/ I've watched foam explanation videos and your way of speaking was by far more understandable! Thanks mate!

Hey what's up recliner repair guy? I hope you're having a great day and I love your videos. I just recently did some KZfaq searches and I found you. My problem is probably rather common, but I don't see a video about it yet. The back of my La-Z-Boy slides up and off. One day, my roommate slammed down and the left side of the back leaned back. Upon inspection I discovered that the base, where the back slides down into the base, had bent so it can't be held by the female slot. I bent it back to match the right side, and applied JB weld so it would accept the back, or the male side, of grip it. I don't know the parts or the terminology. What I want to know is, is this a temporary fix, a permanent fix, or a useless fix. If you have an email, I can send you a before and after and perhaps you can better decide whether this may work. Perhaps a regular weld would be more effective. I don't want to give up on this 2008 La-Z-Boy recliner. It has been wonderful. Thanks!

HI! Just found out that lazyboys stock seat foam is a 1.8lb density. There was no mention of the compression rating. My biggest fear is in spending $$$ on a recliner - only to have to replace the seat when it pancakes on me in 2 years. I also heard you can opt for tempur pedic foam but idk about that material; it could be that memory foam you mistakenly received.

I just emailed one of the online foam companies and asked it they could custom cut their foam to the lazyboy contoured shape....fingers crossed :)

I found a lazboy at the dumpster today and this was the only failure. This is going to be a cool simple restoration. Thanks!!

Have penny mustard springs fine cushion relatively new see sitting compression? Any hope?

Even if you sacrificed the stock contoured seat foam and went with a better but square foam seat - couldn't you at least bevel cut the front edge - shouldn't that help compensate for that extra height? Just curious. I haven't even bought my new recliner yet - i'm just looking down the inevitable road :)

Great video. I'm actually doing a couch but it's really the same thing from the looks of it. The kit I bought had 4 springs a bunch of clips and brace wire for $21. All I had to do was measure the springs with a tape measurer before ordering to get the correct size.

Thank you very much. I was able to fix an elderly friend’s recliner today!

So you always go with the lazyboy brand? Surely those are not made as well these days, right?

Just received my new Lazy Boy and its pitch is way off from the chair I tested in the store 😢. Lazy Boy will not help 🤬. Can you please post a video that shows how to stop the rocking action completely?

very informative video!

Where could I get a new tension spring from? My chairs missing it (explains a lot ) 😮

I am about to order my first Lazyboy recliner. They want to know if I want to upgrade the foam to a memory foam. Should I do this?

Legend! It was one of the cables clasped and I assumed the clasp would keep it tight but I guess not. For me the combined recline, heat, and massage functions all stopped working.

Awesome video. Explanation clear, step by step how to do myself. Just need the parts, drill, screwdriver and spacers.

Thank you so much. I broke my recliner today and hopefully I can follow your 2 videos and fix it.

Thank you this is very very helpful. My wife will enjoy it. At least I hope she knows I sent it off to her so she can figure out which one she needs. We have all kinds of recliners at our house and I told her the one she sitting in was horrible for her back. She’s already got pins in her back so She needs to do something I thought giving her my old recliner was going to help because it was a little more adjustable, but now she didn’t like that. It was too short for her legs when she kicks back it hit her in the wrong place right on the ankles, so I don’t know will this probably will be much more easy at least if she hast to go get another chair

What do I do if seat sitting to low and the seat won't open

What do you do when the recliner back wont stay back? When it comes forward at the slightest movement?

I just wanted to tell you thank you. I have a Lazy Boy recliner that was made back in 2000 and was the most comfortable chair I owned up until a couple of years ago when the rocker block split, I tried to fix it but never got it right. I didn’t want to get rid of the chair because i knew it could be fixed somehow. Yesterday after following your instructions and cutting a new rocker block out of a 2x4 and purchasing the hardware that you recommended. I now have my the use and enjoyment of my recliner again.

3:12 Neil Peart had nothing on you. 😅

Brilliantly, straight forward, easy to follow instructions, thank you. We now have a functioning recliner.

Hey man,really impressed by your repairing skills!! I'm now promoting a recliner chair,and I'm wondering if we can cooperate,make some goooooood videos!!

I have a rather older la z boy recliner and the wire that releases the seat has broken. I'm not having much luck at our local la z boy warehouse or dealer. Do you have any suggestions on where I can get one? Also, is there a specific term or part number for this part? Thanks

Have a barcalounger, only a couple years old. It pulses a blue light and if holding the button down, will slowly pulse the motor, so extending would take 20 minutes. Power supply light also pulses, same interval each time. It does the same with another power supply. Tried the DIN reset with no luck.

I just picked up a vintage lazy boy, and the back won't recline at all. I just tried loosening the wingnuts, but it still won't recline. Is there another adjustment im missing?

Hi, I just bought used recliner and it doesn't have rocker. Is there an assembly I can buy to install it myself?

Thank you for your tutorials and channel, I just subscribed so I can come back in a few weeks to fix our reclining couch! It's in terrible padding shape!

Can we do this while our foot rest is stuck on the fully out position…having a tough time taking off the lock mechanism???

do you have any videos of the extendable footrests that came on some models where you could push out a few inches on the footrest in the highest position and it would move further out.

Thank you for these videos!

Thank you. Just fixed a 5 year old la z boy

thank you sir

thank you sir

I always wondered where that noise came from, thanks!

Thank you immensely for the time and effort invested in creating this tutorial! With a set of Torx screwdrivers from Harbor Freight and your guidance, I managed to install new seat swings which I purchased on Ebay for under $25 in less than 20 minutes. This surely saved me over $100, considering the time to transport it and the going rate per hour at my local furniture repair shop which is known for rounding up the time spent on repairs.

I have two la-z-boy chairs. Their arm rest functions are not working properly. What can I do to get them repsired? I live in oversee and I dont know what to do

my costco thomasville chair’s red light is blinking but it’s not working…what does that mean?

Good info. I am looking at purchasing a lift chair that doesn’t have a powercord. He bought it from a storage place. Your opinion please

I have recently bought a Greyson Power Rocking Recliner w/ Headrest & Lumbar here in New Zealand . After only a week the lumbar support which is electric stopped adjusting. The headrest adjustment and all others are fine. Do you have any videos that may address fixing this lumbar problem?

Too much words and nothing, a waste of time…!!

Back in the day I worked on hundreds of La-Z-Boy recliners. These videos bring back a lot of memories.

I thought my chair was junk but this fixed it thanks 👍🏻

Thank you so much, I fixed it myself.

Thanks for helping me feel just a bit more self-sufficient today
