- This is how to remove the base from your office chair.
Items needed
1. Small Sledge hammer or regular claw hammer
2. Rag to cover the cylinder or piece of wood to place between the cylinder and the hammer
3. Paper towel if you use WD40 to place under the base.
The office chair base can be difficult to remove, please take your time and be safe.
Not every base is the same but for the most part this method will work for most chairs.

Great tip, was struggling to get a broken base off my chair all morning, just tried this method and it worked within 30 seconds.
Glad it helped!
I bought an office chair from a well known international office supply company, figuring it had to be reliable. Seat and back were 👍, but the base and piston had numerous scratches, which made me suspicious … after assembly, piston didn’t always work … I’m now “in doubt” about the glowing reviews that influenced my purchase.
Sorry for venting! … Your video really helped me take it apart, so I can return it … thank you!
Glad to help! Thank you for watching.
Attempted for two hours now. After seeing your video, the chair is now in my garage sprayed with some wd40. Letting it sit in for a few hours and will try again!
And that was just what it needed. 1 hour after wd40, 4 knocks with a hammer detatched it! New base is installed and chair is repaired! Thanks very much for tip!
Glad we could help!
Thanks, this video really helped a lot.
Thank you!
Confirmed, the WD-40 plus hammer/rag + tap worked.
Awesome!
I've got a well used Realspace Ruzzi and I just cannot get the base off. Tried lubricant, a hammer, a sledge. At this point I'm also considering sawing the thing off (the base is broken already and I'm replacing it.
So what do you do when nothing else seems to work? I cant get the base off mine lol
Please send a photo or video of what you are experiencing to our email contact@crandalloffice.com and we'd love to dive into what the issue may be.
i've been trying and trying.. can't get the wheel base off. Wd40, hitting from both ends.. thinking i'm going to use a sawsall to the plastic. any other suggestions?
First don't use a Sawsall to it, if you can send us a couple of pictures to Contact@crandalloffice.com so that way we know what chair it is and how we can better help you.
@@CrandallOfficeFurniture email just sent.
@@CrandallOfficeFurniture i was finally able to get the feet off. Used a spray lubricant, over night, then used a small metal sledge hammer instead of trying with a rubber mallet.
I've found using a 18" pipe wrench helps immensely. It will scratch up the piston but if thats what you are replacing, it works like a charm. I think I got mine for under $10 at Harbor Freight Tools.
Never works with a well-used chair... they all show the same thing but doesn't work for my chair....
They can be tricky.
i have the same prob as @mistersskahlan4750 , my chair is well used and the base doesnt go off with ur method :(@@CrandallOfficeFurniture
Welp rip my warranty things on really fucking tight tried what you did even got a lot of rags to cushion it ended up fucking the gas lift thanks bro
