Office chair gas lifter replacement

I have a pretty expensive office chair. Very similar in style and function to a Herman Miller Aeron. As I sit in it, it slowly sinks closer to the floor. Don't give me any crap about losing weight. The lithe Sparkly sinks it, too and she's less than half my weight.

Seriously .... the gas cylinder has a lek and needs to be replaced. The issue is how to remove the damned thing. It simople to assemble ...... a tapered male part fits into 2aa matching tapered hole.

1. does the manufacturor have a website?

that's the first place to start I would think.

I've put together a lot of office chairs and it never seemed a big deal

the worst case scenario is that you'll have to buy the legs and lifter part intact and attach to the seat of the chair, but I doubt that will be the case.

2. Dont know the manufacturer. I can't find it anywhere on the chair

It came from Office Depot. I'll check with them. But they're pretty worthless with discontinued products.

3. Unless you can find a manufacturer mark which is usually in an insanely inaccessible place, you're screwed.

My own chair has a press fit assembly, meaning there is no way to take it apart and replace it without specialized tools. The chair, when the gas cylinder finally craps out, will be the right height for sitting at the spinning wheel until the leatherette parts company with the underpinnings. I'll have to get something else for a computer chair, though. Shame, this one has been the most comfortable chair I've ever had.

Unfortunately, too many things aren't meant to be repaired, just discarded and replaced. Your mongrel chair might be one of them if you can't find that manufacturer's mark somewhere.

Mine is on the underside of the wheel assembly on the bottom and under one arm. I noted them when I put the thing together.

If you can get it out and measure it accurately, this might be of help:

It is obvious that the first thing Stinky did after he bought that chair was tear off the "do not remove under penalty of law" label that is on the bottom of every chair sold in America, which lists the manufacturer.

Stinky screws himself yet again.

Remember that story out of China about one of these chairs blowing up, killing a student?

The photo's didn't look real because there was no blood on the seat, no "Bloody Rectum Debris" as FReeper 'al baby' would say.
