1. Select the Right Replacement Casters
Size: Most office chair casters have a standard stem size (7/16″ diameter by 7/8″ length).
Type: Choose casters suitable for your floor type:
Hard Plastic: Best for carpeted floors.
Rubber/Polyurethane: Better for hard floors like wood, tile, or laminate.
2. Prepare the Chair
Flip the Chair: Lay the chair on its side or upside down to access the wheels easily.
Protect the Surface: Place a towel or soft cloth under the chair to avoid scratching your floor.
3. Remove the Old Caster Wheels
Pull the Casters Out: Most office chair casters are simply push-fit. Grip the wheel firmly and pull it straight out. If it’s stuck, twist it gently while pulling.
Use a Screwdriver/Pliers: If the wheels are stubborn, you can use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry them out or use pliers to get a better grip.
4. Clean the Wheel Sockets
Inspect the Socket: Check the socket where the caster stem fits. Remove any dirt or debris that could affect the new caster’s installation.
Apply Lubricant : If the socket is tight, applying a small amount of silicone spray can help with inserting the new wheels.
5. Install the New Caster Wheels
Align the Stem: Position the stem of the new caster wheel with the socket in the chair’s base.
Push the Wheel In: Firmly press the wheel into the socket until it clicks into place. You should hear or feel a snap when it’s securely in.
Check Each Wheel: Repeat for all wheels, ensuring each is securely attached.
6. Test the Chair
Flip the Chair Back Over: Once all the wheels are installed, turn the chair upright.
Check for Smooth Movement: Roll the chair around to make sure it moves smoothly and that all wheels are securely in place.
