Unable to remove Gas lift from chair, kill me please.

Just thought i'd point out gaming chairs are an absolute joke.

In any case i've tried using WD40 also keep in mind this chair is 2 days old, can't get the lift out from the wheel base.

If i hit it with a mallet any harder it will probably damage the lift which i don't want to happen as the chair is being returned.

2 days now... ive tried... 2 days....

Watch the videos on youtube of it - there is a trick to hitting it just right on the rim to pop it out - had to do it a few months back. You can probably hit it a bit harder than you think if you get the spot right you shouldn't damage anything.

I've watched the vids Rroff, tried as they have, tried much harder, any harder and i might aswell be doing full swings at it.

2 days mate... sick of this chair now just want it gone.

Is this an IKEA Markus? I had a similar experience with one of those, and I ended up selling it as I just couldn't get it apart.

:Edit: OK so I actually read your post now and I can see it isn't a Markus

It does go to show though that this is issue isn't just gaming chairs, it's common.

No Zefan its a Noble Chairs Icon

. I think i'm going to have to take it to a shop to have them remove it.

No my gaming chair comment was more related to my dislike of them now. I'd rather have say a Herman Miller Aeron or a proper ergonomic chair than a gaming chair.
