  • In some cases, you will need to use some lubricant to aid the base to replacement process, and this process will require you to lay it on the drop cloth.
  • You will be able to see the lower end of the column and where it meets the base.

Step 3: Remove Base

  • In the chair base you will see that there are fasteners within the column that hold all the two components together.
  • These components are mostly nuts that can easily be removed with the help of a wrench.

  • The new base may also come with a column or can be easily fitted onto the existing column. Where it needs to be removed, apply a little amount of WD40 into gap betwixt the inner column & the outer one.
  • Use the steel hammer to firmly strike the protruding section of the inner column of the chair base, this will make it vibrate & spread the substance and will make the column easier to remove.

  • You will find there is a gas cylinder which is supported by a plastic part that may also need to replace. You are now in a position to firmly slide the new column into the actual place.
  • Follow this by positioning your new purchased swivel chair base to align the holes for your bolts that will secure it easily.
  • This is your final step of this process, you need to insert your bolts and then replace all the nuts initially by your hands before tightening them properly with the help of a wrench. Right your swivel chair and then test it to make sure it does not rock now.
