Hi everybody, Francisco The BearMaker here. Many bear artists use office chairs
in their workspace. Now I've had mine for only a few years but all the sudden it
decided to sink to the floor whenever it felt like it. Despite this problem
I still liked my chair and did not feel like spending tons of money on a new one.
I did some research and found out that all I had to do to fix this problem was
change a cylinder which was a tube that has air inside, or something like that
This one. Eventually things did work out but before they did I went through hell
don't worry, this video is about the easy way to fix a sinking chair problem but
you should know what I did wrong so you don't go through the same hell I went
through. So, I ordered the cylinder and it arrived in the mail, I was so excited, but
suddenly my excitement turned into complete frustration and disappointment
when I couldn't remove the old cylinder from the chair, it was impossible, I tried
an oil spray, a pipe wrench, a hammer, you name it. All of these options were
recommended by videos and message boards online but none of them worked. before
giving up I went back online and did more research. This time I found a little
mechanism that helps you remove the old cylinder from the chair and it included
a new cylinder as a kit, guess what? it was easy, it fixed the problem and it
only cost me thirty five dollars, more coming up
When I bought the mechanism kit the seller guaranteed the size which they
called the universal standard size, and that is about two inches wide at its
widest and around one inch wide at its narrowest. Now the old cylinder may be
covered by a collapsible plastic cover, don't worry about it,
this is just for decorative purposes, I removed mine and threw it away
less stuff to keep clean. The seller guaranteed that if it didn't fit I
could get my money back including shipping and handling. As always, all the
links are in the description of this video below. All right, once I got the kit
in the mail I got to work. Here are steps I took. First press your chair's
lever to raise your chair to its highest position, this will release the pressure
from the old cylinder. Place some newspaper or plastic bags on the floor
or work surface where you'll be placing the chair on it's back to replace the old
cylinder. This is to avoid staining your work area with the oil from the old
cylinder the way I did. If your kit includes a pair of gloves as mine did
please wear them, it will save you from a headache from trying to remove the
stubborn oil stains on your hands, I didn't and regret it. With a screwdriver
remove the clip at the bottom of the old cylinder then pull the wheel base from
the chair. It should come out with just the bottom part of the cylinder attached
Most likely this won't happen to you but if you have any problems removing the
wheel base from the chair just tap it gently with a rubber mallet, if you don't
have that you can take a hammer and wrap a towel around it and use that instead
and if it still persists then turn the wheel base as you push it away from
the chair to release it. Next remove the tube that is still attached to the wheel base
by placing the wheel base on top of a trash can but with the tube underneath
grab a hammer and hit the tube like it owes you money
yippee. Next separate the collars that came with the new cylinder kit by unscrewing
the short screws in them with an Allen wrench then attach them to the old
cylinder that is still attached to the chair by screwing back in the short
screws. When tightening the screws do it only
enough so they hug the cylinder but they still slide. Slide the collars as close as
you can to the seat. Make sure that the threaded holes in the collars don't line
up, then screw the bottom collar short screws so it's very tight and not able
to slide at all. Using the Allen wrench screw the longer screws that came
included in the kit into the bottom collar. Screw a little bit on each side
alternating so the collars separate evenly. As the collars separate
from each other the top one will push the cylinder away from the chair. If the
collars don't push the cylinder away from the chair this could mean you didn't
tighten the bottom collar enough, if so, tighten the bottom collar more and repeat.
Once the tube comes out of the chair you're ready to install the new cylinder
in the chair. Remove the protective plastic cap from the cylinder, in my case
is colored red. Place the widest part of the new cylinder into the middle hole of
your wheel base then place the chair onto the thinnest part of the tube then
sit on the chair and the cylinder will fasten itself to the chair with the
pressure, and that's all, not bad ah? I wanted to make a separate video about
the following but I didn't want you to miss out on the opportunity. When buying
the cylinder kit I've noticed it that if I added one more item to the cart the
seller would apply a discount. Now the discount may or may not be available by
the time you see this video but I thought it was worth mentioning it
I also noticed they were selling some awesome wheels for office chairs. My old
ones were completely ruined filled with thread and stuffing which made it hard
to slide around my workspace, so I said hey why not?
they were easy replace, the chair now slides wonderfully and the wheels are
very quiet too, I love them! Feel free to leave a comment
