To replace a broken gas strut in your bar stool follow the below steps. or go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jzbySSvsrk
1: Turn the stool on it side on a flat surface ( we recommend the floor).
2: You will see a clip on the bottom of the stool (metal black clip)
3: Remove the clip (please see photos) .
4: Once the clip has been removed the gas strut will pull apart into two pieces. One will be attached to the seat and the other to the round base.
5: Once the gas strut has been pulled apart you will need to remove the strut from the seat. While the stool is on the floor, using a pair of vice grips grip around the bottom of the gas strut ( This will be the black skinny metal bit of the gas strut)
6: Twist the old gas strut out of the seat mechanism. You may need some leverage to help twist the strut out we use a metal pole and place it over the end of the vice grips. Depending on the age of the chair you may need to use some WD40 to help release some of the tension.
7: To remove the base from the gas strut. Place the base upside down (the gas strut facing the floor) on a hard surface, we use a bench that is the same height as a kitchen bench. We recommend using a 1-3/16 socket bit to help bang the old gas strut out. Place the socket on the gas strut end and hit the socket set with a hammer. If you find that it is hard to get out spray some WD40 into the gap where the strut and the base meet and let it sit for an hour or so and try banging it out again.
8: Once you have the old gas strut out place the new gas strut into the base.
9: Place the seat back onto the gas strut. You will need to sit on the seat to ensure that the seat locks into place. Once this is all done your bar stool is ready to use.
