Step 3: Install the new casters by aligning the force core of the new caster with the hole on the bottom of the chair and pushing it in firmly along the hole's direction to ensure a secure fit with no looseness.
Precautions
When replacing casters, it is important to choose products that match the size and specifications of the original casters to ensure compatibility. If the chair has been in use for a long time, it is advisable to check the holes on the bottom of the chair for wear or deformation. If necessary, perform appropriate repairs or replace chair components. Additionally, after installing the new casters, gently push the chair to check if the casters rotate smoothly without any sticking or unusual noises to ensure safe use.
