Review on 🪑 Office Executive Chair Gas Lift Cylinder Replacement - Short Size - 3" Travel/Adjustment Range - S6103 by Bobby Lawson

I have a $400 office chair that I love and can't find anywhere (discontinued in 2011) and I was heartbroken when I saw the lift arm broke. Unfortunately these things usually break after 2-3 years of use (usually a small piece of plastic inside the lift arm breaks from years of carrying a lot of weight). Fortunately, most lift arms are similar and easy to swap out. Remember to measure the length of your old one and order the right size. I replaced my old one with this generic one in less than 2 minutes. To remove the old lift arm: Turn the chair over. Using GrooveLock pliers, grasp the top of the lift arm (closest to the chair) and rotate. After it's lost, move the top of the chair back. Now base. With the bottom of the base facing you, hit the bottom of the old lift arm with a hammer. Strength is not important. Instead focus on hitting the circumference of the old lift arm. You just want to loosen it up. Then delete. Lower the replacement lift arm into the chair base and reattach the chair top. Enjoy. If you need a chair repaired immediately and can't wait for this item to arrive in two days, go to your warehouse and purchase 2.5" to 3" wide PVC pipe. You need less than 1 foot of it. Figure out how high you want the chair to be and measure from the top of the base to the bottom of the seat cushion. Cut the PVC pipe to length. Slide the PVC pipe over the existing broken lift arm. Problem solved. The chair will not go under the top of the PVC pipe. It will look ugly and may wobble a little.
