Office Max chair shock. Most of them are one-size-fits-all. But not this Office Max.
The big one is the standard replacement.
The old shock's lower half is retracted inside and leaking.
This "creative design" is reversed, with the bigger half on top.
The lower half is the width of a big pencil and sits on a small roller bearing
This sits inside a plastic reducer sleeve, which was breaking and had to be knocked out.
The seat also had to be removed and a hole drilled in the bracket to be able to knock the old one out the top.
I'm hoping the new one will slide in, after the crimps are ground off the inside of the tube.
Why did they have to add crimps and warp the tube?
Uggh.
