The height adjustment on my chair stopped working. Can I fix it myself, and how do I do it?
Yes, you can fix it yourself in about an hour with basic tools. Here's the simple process:
| Step | What to Do |
|---|---|
| 1. Prep | Turn the chair upside down. Remove any clips or bolts holding the cylinder. |
| 2. Remove Old Cylinder | Use a pipe wrench to twist it out. If stuck, spray with WD-40 and tap with a rubber mallet. |
| 3. Measure | Check the diameter (most are 2 inches) and length to buy the right replacement. |
| 4. Install New Cylinder | Slide the new cylinder into the base, press firmly, and reattach the seat. |
Replacement cylinders cost $20-60, which is much cheaper than a new chair or professional repair.
