Good news: As a woman I cleaned the 5 casters on a 20 year old chair. Bad news: Not having the strength of a man, I really had to push on those heavy bars. I hit my cheek with one and will get a nasty bruise. But the chair rolls great now.
Don't ever use oil on plastic wheels, especially these. Oil is a petroleum product and will break down plastic AND if you had all kinds of dust etc in the wheels the oil will just attract lots more. Instead use a dry film lube such as graphite
I was able to pry the wheels apart with a pair of pliers... using them in reverse, if that makes sense. It takes some pressure to get the pliers in and work them to a useable position but they did come apart. After the first one it was all very straight forward.
The best video! Easy, fast and well explained..Gracias!!!
This video helped to fix my office chair. Dennis Maloney, you explained and demonstrated it in a simple way.
Thanks
Thanks! I didn't have the use of a vice or two crow bars. I improvised using two claw hammers back to back. Job done!!!
This video was very helpful. Absolutely fantastic job!
so satisfying watching the wheels pop off like that lol
Excellent. Thanks for this.
This video made me want to move to Ireland!
thank you for the help! I use my chair at the sewing machine and it is full of thread.
Thank you for the Video. but you forgot the lock spring.

Oh, you forgot to push down the block with the sprig under it when you put it back together
Thanks. I have exactly the problem.

you forgot to push the spring in, when you put the axel back into the caster
I think the oil is attracting and holding the dust.
👍
I seen another way but yours is more easier and faster! By the way my name is also Dennis for the first, how Ironic!
Thank you Dennis pleaseure hearing from you.
Everything looks easy but I don't have the tools 😟
