Thanks, that helps. I need to fix an exasperating squeak.

Thank you so much for the video. I picked up a chair exactly like yours from the curb of a wealthy family near me. It still had the tags from the store. It looked brand new. Being the scrounge that I am I grabbed it and took it home. Why would anyone throw out a pretty chair and ottoman like this? I took it inside and low and behold, a bearing, the same one you showed, was bad. I was trying so hard to figure out how to fix it or get parts. You tube! Thank you so much. Now my roommate will be happy with her new chair. I'm so lucky to live in a nice area with wealthy people who throw away nice things. Great video.

Nice video buddy...nice technique to replace bolt.

We have some tighter clearances like 2mm clearance for wrench Any suggestions

How did you get the bearings out of the outer part of the chair arm? Once you remove the nut the bearing is fixed in the wooden arm.

[@jcardisco1]

I just used a pair of pliers and removed the bearing assembly. I had to wiggle it around a bit to get the assembly to come out of the hole made in the wooden arm. A pair of lock-jaw pliers will be easier so you don't have to grip and pull out the assembly.

So how was the massage with Christian?

[@jcardisco1]

Good but too much $$. Now going to a massage school instead. Half the price and just as good IMHO.

My glider is stuck in lock position it doesn’t rock at all can you help with that it’s brand new

[@esboyce]

I hope you figured it out before throwing it away. It's the handle on the right

Great

Hi ,How you take the bearing with pin out which was not damaged ? & how to take the Brocken bearing out? also please tell how you fix it if there is no right size Bearing/pin assembly in market. Thanks

[@jcardisco1]

take the whole bearing and stem out together. You have to take out the both bearings on the same size as the broken bearing. This chair you can't take out all bearings (like the upper ones) because there is a wooden dowel keeping the chair together and that dowel is actually glued into the chair. You have to find the right size (diameter) of the bearing and proper length of the stem.

@@jcardisco1 Thanks ,I opened the nut on stem but the good one ,bearing seems like is shrunk fit in there ,does not budge after removing plate with 3 screws .how to remove top bearing race seems shrunk fit in wood chair

[@rumishadow4317]

Figured it out

[@dansofi]

Yes he did not explain that --can you please answer how you took it out --The broken one & the complete one? Thanks

[@brittperkbp]

What size is the lock nut?

[@jcardisco1]

I believe it takes a 1/2" open ended wrench. But I just used the old ones still since they were still good.
