Can the metal cylinder be removed from the piston casing? I just need the cylinder part for my office chair.

I don't know, I am disabled and someone put it on for me, I did see on Amazon the piston without it.

No that would ruin the hydraulics in the cylinder. But you can replace the entire piece on the chair.

You COULD with some effort and pliers, but it might not be able to undo. You will also fatigue the metal. If you do this, it should be with the understanding that it's a one time mod that can't really be fixed.

Hi Melody, you can remove the glass cylinder, and if you need to you can order replacement cylinders.

Hi, I don't remember if the stems are removable. The chair I put them on is not at this location. You should be able to pry the old stems out of your chair with a screwdriver or something. You do want to measure the old stem since they come in different sizes. I bought two packs of the wrong sizes locally before ordering the right size on Amazon. They have most of the sizes on Amazon. You want to measure width and height of the stem you need since they vary.

No the metal key can't be removed. My case was broken also. Purchased this. Replaced the insides with the stuff from old key and took it to Honda dealer. He cut the key for free. Works great.

The only way I think you could do that is if you put a sacrificial piece of wood mounted to the piece to screw to the head stock and then cut it off. I would not recommend that though. Best to use the right tools, you always get better results. BTW, this is a great little lathe, I've used it for over a year now. No issues. First one shipped damaged, no issue with the return and shipment of another.

Yes. Carefully remove the clip (cover) that holds the pins and springs in place. Open the cover into a bowl with a pad so the springs and pins don't get away from you when you carefully remove the cover that holds the springs and pins in the tumbler. The keyed pins may get mixed in with the spring pins so segregate for size and shape. with all of the pins removed you can remove the cylinder. Install the pins and springs in the housing with the round tube tool holding them from going into the cylinder location and replace the cover after the springs and pins are in the housing. Follow the instructions on keying the cylinder and install as you push the round tool out of the housing. Yes. Carefully remove the clip (cover) that holds the pins and springs in place.

I have not removed it. I am certain that it is removable. It would not be re-usable.

Only if the pistons in the caliber have a threaded release retract going back into the caliber

Yes, or at least partly. From what I recall that part consists of two half spheres that are joined together when you essemble it. The two spheres connect in the center by screwing the two halves together. So you might be able to remove the bottom half but I am not sure if you could remove the whole thing.

It should fit without any problem. Taking the old cylinder apart can be a bit frustrating if its as bad as mine was though

Yes you could. Check the seat mounting, it's possible you have them mounted wrong and need to be spun 180 degrees. The lever actually relieves the cylinder "not easily". but with the seat removed the cylinder could be actuated by hand.

No, the clear cylinder is held on by 2 screws. I don't know how easy it would be to un-do and reassemble.

I recently replaced mine - it was a chair I bought 2 years ago from Walmart. The toughest part was removing the old cylinder. Cylinder sizes seem to be standard - it fit my older chair like a glove. The lift seemed slightly lower than the original cylinder.

No, the cushion is attached to a piece that is screwed onto the chair, so it cannot be removed. But if you want to replace the cushion, it should be easy to reupholster because you can easily just unscrew the sitting area, take it to the reupholster fairies, and voila!

The piston should have the removable top cap. This is the only way that you can install the ring. The ring is not metal. Along with the piston usually comes the ring and new cylinder, "o" rings, rod and sealed bearing all together as a kit. Hope this is some help, Gary

It is not ment to be removed. But if you are handy you can open it up and replace it. I have not changed mine it seems to work just fine.
