How to Detach the Gas Lift from the Five-Star Base or Seat Mechanism

If you need to replace the gas lift, five-star base, or seat mechanism, but find that the parts are tightly connected and difficult to separate, please follow the steps below:

1. Ensure a Safe Working Environment

• Place the chair on its side or secure it properly on a stable, flat surface before starting.

• It is recommended to wear protective gloves to avoid hand injuries during disassembly.

2. Disassembly Method

• If the gas lift is tightly connected to the seat mechanism or the five-star base, use a rubber mallet to gently tap around the connection points to loosen them.

• If you don’t have a rubber mallet, you may use a regular hammer, but make sure to wrap the hammerhead with a soft cloth, towel, or other cushioning material to prevent scratches or dents on the parts.

• Control the tapping force — use several gentle taps instead of one strong hit.

3. After Disassembly

• Check the removed parts for damage, deformation, or oil stains.

• Before installing new parts, ensure that all connection points are clean and dry.

• If the parts still cannot be separated after several attempts, please contact our after-sales support team for further assistance.
