Many thanks for the easy to find info and easy to follow tip. What an idiotic design, it does not protect anybody but instead it gratualy destroyes the floor panels. Thx again.
Guys, save yourselves a lot of trouble. All i did was prise off one of the wheels with a strong screwdriver - pulled the spindle out with the other wheel still attached. A small plastic block / spacer piece, virtually falls out from the centre of the wheel. Underneath that is a small spring which in 3 of my 5 wheels flew out. However, If necessary remove it - replace the spindle with the wheel still fitted to one end and push the 2nd wheel back on by hand. The whole thing took me around 15 minutes to complete. No need to cut anything away because you've disconnected the brake mechanism. 🙂Happy days!
Thank you! I thought I made a grave error in purchasing this chair because of the tight wheels, but I'm glad to know there was a fix.

Great video! The disassembly really helps understand where the four brake pads are located.
Thank you so much! Helped a lot :)
This was a great tutorial thanks. My chair glides so well now. Thanks!
Love it!!! I got a rolling chair now 😂

Really helpful video. Thanks
Just to note, I managed to cut them off without having to disassemble the wheel at all, so that's probably worth trying first :D
Thanks!
Jisk chairs have the same safety brakes system?
Thanks for the tip, I think I’ll sand them off by removing the wheel
Karen needs to up her camerawoman skills!
She did great I think
such a hassle just buy new ones.
Why pay more money for something else when you can just fix the ones you've already bought. Saves throwing away perfectly good wheels too.
