I did the extra work to provide understanding and multiple options (I apologize if I made it look complicated or confusing). All you need is a one dollar pipe nipple of the correct length from the hardware store, and a flat head screwdriver. It literally takes about five minutes to install and complete. Example: www.homedepot.com/p/Southland-3-8-in-x-3-in-Black-Steel-Nipple-582-030HN/100192847 Or if you already own some existing pipe, you can cut something and make it work at no cost!

@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial but it also involves taking the chair apart, and with me being disabled, there is no way I can lift the chair and rest it on my table. Plus, I cannot remove the handles, they are part of the chairs design. The chair is about 20 years old and looks totally different to the one you have there. Not trying to be difficult or anything like that, but I am giving an option to people like me who are not able to stand for more than 10 to 15 seconds before falling over. I am basically chair bound.

Honestly, three years later and I'm so thankful I found your video, I didn't have the tools to do what you personally did but, once you said, if you can fill the space it will work, I had an idea, I have a few different/broken/incomplete ratchet sets in my garage, I was able to find a deep socket that fit perfectly and is holding great, best part it was from a set thats old/half of the bits are cracked. I've got a complete set so personally I was just happy I found a use for something I'd never use again! You're amazing. More people need to see this video. Cheers

OMG! You BLOODY LIFESAVER!! lol. My good chair (about 5-6 years old) blew out a 2nd time about 9-10 months ago (I actually bought a new gas cylinder the first time) and fortunately my building manager gave me a 2nd hand chair for nothing, so I just threw out the old one. Anyway, 6 months later and the cheap version he gave me developed a faulty cylinder (i'm cursed lol). It's xmas coming up and I didn't want to shell out on a new chair, and this chair is too cheap to bother with a new cylinder, so I've just been putting up with it. Today it slipped down about 10 times in an hour (more than usual) so I thought I'd KZbin search a DYI fix. And BAM!! Saw your vid! I fortunately had some left over 2.5cm pipe from a project a while back, used my Bunnings Pipe cutter to cut to the correct length (following your awesome instructions) and WHAMMO! Problem solved! Like you I NEVER use the up/down gas lift anyway (unless it's fixing it when it sinks down) so this is perfect! THANK YOU SO MUCH, You just made my day! Actually more like YEAR! haha.

Conveniently the hydraulic lifts on the GTRacing website were sold out(I wonder why) so I stumbled upon this video and I'm really glad that I did! This was actually super easy and takes two minutes to do. Head over to lowes and head over to the plumbing section to find the pvc piping. You can find skinny 2' pipes for about 3 bucks and they'll even cut it down to the size you need in store. I also picked up about four half inch 'coupling' pieces. I ended up using 3 coupling pieces instead of the pipe because I forgot to account for the length of the bushings, so the pipe was about a half inch too long and I couldnt use it! Still worked perfectly fine with the coupling pieces and ended up saving myself 30 bucks THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for the great video! My gaming chair has recently started to sink, but only sometimes and only to a height that makes it slightly irritating to sit in. I tried to fix it by putting a hose clamp on the upper part of the cylinder at the desired height, but the clamp either moved under weight or broke when I tried to tighten it. I never thought about using a pipe inside the cylinder itself. It's a rather ingenious solution to an irritating problem, in my opinion. I removed the lower cylinder as you showed in the video (it was easier than I expected), took some measurements, and went to the garage. I quickly found a pipe of the right width and cut it to the correct length. With just some electrical tape on the thin cylinder to keep it centered, the chair is like new again. I can't lower it, but since the maximum height is perfect for me, it doesn't really matter. Thanks again for the great video!

Thanks for the video. I'd have to really like my chair to go through all of that. I'm going to give it a shot just because I don't want to toss out a good chair. I liked the spring idea. That would be the option I would try for my own taste, Thanks for doing the homeowrk.

Thanks, I used the 3/8 x 3” pipe nipple, it worked great.
