This was very helpful and enabled me to replace the pneumatic cylinder on my chair

Thank you!!! I wasn’t able to get the bottom piece apart! Thanks to your video I got it apart and was able to ship it back in the box! I appreciate this video! 👍👍

Thanks. I was really stuck with the cylinder. I don't have a hammer but I got my dumbbell working just fine.

[patriciaprints]

Thank you!! This worked but OMG taking off the cylinder took all my strength with my pliers.

This is the best video I watched on Youtube in the last one week. 282k views and just 900 likes!! People can be so f***ing thankless, unless those 900 people watched it these many times.

Thank you....I found a nice office chair at Goodwill and I have a Toyota Camry that the chair needs to go a blessing?

If you don’t have a rubber hammer, you can put a book on the cylinder and hammer on it

[sabrinaschultzkisby]

Oh man! I got the cylinder out of the base! I know you whacked it really hard but you still made it look super easy in comparison!

[lauramassi]

Thank goodness I watched this. I couldn't figure out how to get the stem of the chair out of the wheel frame

[chicken]

Very helpful, I really appreciated this when I needed to replace a defective cylinder. Your method worked perfectly for me. Thank you!

[cgstadler]

This was perfect. Thank you. Do not skip on the duct tape part.

[ronaldestime]

Thank you, very helpful. The duct tape was key to grip the cylinder for a proper twist, I didn’t need to use a mallet probably because I just recently assembled it. 😊

[rickfromtexas]

couldn't get the cylinder off but luckily had a pipe wrench to twist if off with, thanks for the tip!
