    You are a lifesaver, my man. Struggled for two hours to figure it out without a mallet/wrench and this method had it come off in seconds. Thank you!!!

    Greetings from India:
    This video saved my day. I was hammering the hydraulic for one hour.
    Finally, tired, i thought to check on TH-cam and then it solved my problem in less than 30 seconds.
    Many Many Thanks .

    I spent several hours trying to figure out how to fix my office chair, and this video saved me! I'll spare the details, but this video enabled me to fix my office chair by taking the base of an older office chair and replacing the damaged base with that. Thank you !!

    Thank you. I bought a foot rest online to attach it in my ikea chair base. I watched several YT videos and look for "how to guides" in forums in disassembling the chair few days ago but the best I got is hammering the base out of it. So today after hammering the base with my wrench 3 times with mediocre intensity, I thought I should try to search for instructional video in youtube for one last time. And by miracle, this video is the second one in the search result.
    Thank you chair angel 👼. You have saved another chair's life today 🙏

    Oh my word. I built a new PC a year ago and got myself a new chair to go with it, well, today one of the slots the wheels go into in the base gave out and I was ready to buy a new chair. On a whim I searched to see if you could replace office chair bases and was directed to your video. I never knew this was possible. You sir, saved me the cost of a new chair so thankyou, thankyou a lot.

    To say that I’m grateful for this video would be an understatement. I broke the wheel and then arm off the base on one chair and I have a second chair that’s the right size and a lot nicer. So I’m gonna take the base off of the old one and swap it. Fantastic and thank you.
