My chair has an extended rod through the base and a clip on the end. Can that black casing come off? Will this work?

It sounds like you're talking about the bottom of the gas cylinder itself, which has a little clip keeping the parts from sliding free. The answer is "probably", if the chair originally came in multiple pieces (most likely) then you should be able to use a mallet to pound the base off the gas cylinder, and then use a pipe wrench to twist the cylinder free from the chair itself. You can find quite a few youtube videos showing this process, some recommend taking the base off first, others recommend removing the chair end first. I went with the former, and while it took some muscle, it definitely worked.Good luck!

The plastic casing comes off but not the metal casing around the lift. The lift part should just press out of the roller base and use a wrench to remove from chair bottom by twisting until it comes loose then just pull out.

The length of the cable doesn't matter as much as the length of the exposed cable. That is the amount of draw you will have from the mechanism. They can range from 3" to 6". Most will actuall work. When you pull the old one out, watch how the cable is routed through the chair as well, so that you keep it from binding in the recliner once replaced. Other than that, you only need to match the connector on the end of the cable, and most are just a small "S" or "L" hookGood luck!

the way I did mine was by using a hammer. turn the whole chair upside down an tap the center of the cylinder until it falls out of the chair base while kinda holding the base up .the harder part is tapping the mounting where the top of the cylinder shaft installs to the chair seat bottom. hold the cylinder an rest of the chair off the floor an tap harder next to the shaft mount until it falls off.tap on the steel part not the seat bottom. have fun.

You would have to first cut the clips off. Once you do that it will never clip on again.

It appears to be held in place with a metal retaining clip. I don't see any way to remove it completely, but cutting it off with hacksaw would work. There is a bit of sliding friction, I'm not sure if this would be a problem or not for you.

The ends cannot be removed, that was the first thing I tried. I did not try to take apart from the center of the rod and put together again. When I get a chance I will try that. Thank you for your suggestions.

There is a plastic round disc in the center of the base, not sure if this can be removed and a caster can be inserted. Hope this helps!

Just pull straight off the end. There are different ones available but most of the styles will fit.

There's a small cutout section on one of the corners. Pry on that cutout and the back will come off with some pressure. Don't worry, you won't break it.

The caps have round metal head that you hammer into the bottom of the leg of the chair. It works great if you have wood legs on your chair. Once attached the chair glides much more easily. Good luck.

The cylinder is held in the under chair mount and the bottom base by friction only. Remove the cylinder mount from the underside of the chair by removing the screws. Hit the top of the cylinder(extending through the chair mount) with a hammer while holding the mount. This should dislodge it from the mount. Now hit the bottom of the mount that extends through the chair base while holding the base. This should dislodge the cylinder from the base. You can place a piece of wood on the cylinder ends and hit the wood with the hammer if you are concerned about hitting the cylinder directly.

The one made by Stokke is OK. It is smaller and it could be troublesome taking it off the chair. Also, because the way it's designed on the bottom, it's not as easy to clean it up.

It doesnt look like the clip is intended to come off on mine but if you cut a few stitches and could be permanently removed with out damaging the holster itself.

I don't know about your chair but it worked perfectly for an Ikea office chair. The Ikea chair seemed to be different from the other US office chairs and the extra height when fully extended is fantastic. You can always return it since it's Amazon and it's much less expensive than a new chair.

This cylinder worked well in my wife's chair. Go to You Tube and watch the videos on how to change the cylinder out. They are very helpful.

This is a replacement for the entire cylinder. You need to tap the old cylinder out of the base and replaced it with this one. Look at videos on YouTube under "replacing office chair swivel gas cylinder". Very helpful. Good luck!

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered
