DOZYANT Gas Lift Cylinder Replacement,Hydraulic Pneumatic Shock Piston Heavy Duty (450 lbs) Universal Size Fits Most Executive Office Chairs, Highest End Class 4

These chair cylinders are nowhere near as easy to remove as some videos show. Usually they're wedged in there unbelievably tight, but there are ways to win the battle. I checked other online videos for removal techniques and soon afterwards, this part was a great replacement. It fit perfectly, drops right in, appears to be better built than the original and so far has held up very well despite my above average build. Definitely worth the price and a little effort! Highly recommended!

When the gas lift on my office chair started giving out, I was on the brink of buying a whole new chair. That’s when I stumbled upon the DOZYANT Gas Lift Cylinder, and I decided to give it a shot.

It's evident that this cylinder is built to last, supporting up to 450 lbs with a seamless and smooth operation, making it feel like I've got a brand new chair. The hydraulic pneumatic shock piston operates flawlessly, providing the perfect amount of lift and stability. What impressed me the most is how it has transformed my seating experience at work, ensuring comfort throughout my long hours at the desk. This product is a lifesaver for anyone looking to fix their office chair without breaking the bank.

Worked perfectly, was worried I needed to buy a new chair, this was def a economical way to preserve this office chair a little longer. Removal of the old ram is tough, but a hammer and a punch and some anger I was able to get it knocked out without too much pain. Installation was about as easy as it could get.

I had read many tips and watched many videos on removing the old gas cylinder and thought I was ready with my secret weapon...my 18 inch pipe wrench. Sadly it did not work in twisting out the cylinder. Had to remove bottom mechanism of chair to access the end of the cylinder to try to drive it out of the chair bottom apparatus. With a 5lb sledge and a huge screwdriver I attempted to drive the cylinder out with extreme force. Well I got my screwdriver wedged into the middle of the cylinder and it would not come out. Drove upwards on the screwdriver handle to get it out and promptly broke my handle off. Fixed later with gorilla glue so no worries. So anyway banged, grunted, and silently cursed until I remembered another trick I had not seen mentioned and that was a MAPP gas torch. Heated the connection where the cylinder was basically welded inside and re-hammered into the cylinder with a socket extension and out it popped. WOW. Finally. After letting it cool, I reattached the mechanism to the bottom of my chair and in slid the new cylinder and then on the legs. Promptly sat down in it and tried to raise the chair up. It did not work at all. Well removed it all again and saw a purple plastic cap that was over the white piece that was the actual gas cylinder control. I unscrewed that purple piece and reassembled it all one more time and it all worked great. Seems very strong and no leaks so far. When I lower it may be a little more of a drop than the old one and not as smooth but will try to get used to it. Overall giving it a good buy and hoping it last for years as not looking forward to removing the cylinder in the future again. Dropping to 4 stars as there were no instructions to remove the purple plastic cap and it cost me more time to disassemble and reassemble it.

Awesome product, would highly recommend

Our Quill Hazen office chair had a base recall, they sent a replacement for it and the chair began to lower on its own while sitting in it. We're not sure if we accidentally hit the center of the original cylinder or if we had exceeded the weight allowance, as I'm around 220lbs and our toddler will sit on our lap at times and he's around 40lbs. Due to the cylinder not remaining at our desired height, I began searching for a replacement cylinder that would hopefully last for at least the duration of the chair, with us having a growing child. This cylinder caught my eye, due to the weight allowance and 5 year guarantee, and placed the order.This gas lift cylinder included the gloves pictured and a business card that says to search for instructions online on how to replace the cylinder. The included gloves are of decent quality and have been added as a keeper in the toolbox, which have already been used for projects since changing the cylinder. Removing the current cylinder is easy enough using a rubber mallet or hammer and a wrench or a pair of vice-grips. This is a slow and steady project and should not be rushed, otherwise you might break something in the process and will need to replace even more.1. Raise the chair to the maximum height (this makes step 4 easier).2. Lay the chair on the floor.3. Using a rubber mallet or hammer, hit the outer ring of the current cylinder, not the inside, while holding the wheel base until the 2 become separated.4. Using a wrench or vice-grips, rotate the cylinder where it connects to the chair until it disconnects. You will more than likely need to go different directions to fully get the cylinder to release from the base of the chair. If using vice-grips, its easiest if they're applied at a horizontal direction and you're able to push from the top downwards.5. Place the base of the chair, where the wheels are located, in the upright position (the direction that it will be once the chair is fully assembled).6. Insert the large end, non-red cap, into the center of the wheel base.7. Remove the red cap from your ToolKee gas lift cylinder replacement.8. Place the chair on top of the gas lift cylinder and wheel base.This took approximately 10 minutes to install, due to getting everything ready to take the old cylinder out, doing the removal, installation and cleanup. We've had this for almost a month and have not had any issues, even though we have a little director of operations that likes to periodically give himself a raise, while sitting in the chair.I would definitely recommend this gas lift cylinder as a replacement to any office chair, as it was easy to install and can support quite a bit of weight.If you found this review "Helpful", please click the button below.

Was a great replacement. It fit like a glove. Turns out the problem was me and the chair kept breaking because of my weight.
