These casters differ in size, material, and function, resulting in varying prices, allowing users to choose according to their needs and budget.
Caster Replacement: If an office chair tilts to one side and it is found to be a wheel issue upon inspection, it is usually difficult to purchase a single replacement caster foot; instead, a complete new set is required for replacement. Users can contact the chair manufacturer to provide the model number for ordering matching caster feet or remove the old wheels and take one to an office supplies store to find a matching replacement set. During replacement, it is crucial to pay special attention to matching the shape and size of the wheel axle. When removing the casters, if they cannot be pulled out by hand, insert the blade of a flat-head screwdriver into the small gap between the caster foot and the chair contact point as a lever, pull out about 1 centimeter, and then pull again; a very small number of casters are fixed with screws, in which case a screwdriver is needed to loosen the screws for removal. When installing new casters, first apply a small amount of spray lubricant (such as WD-40) or a pea-sized amount of Vaseline to each chair base socket, then use a rubber mallet to tap the casters into the chair sockets, and finally, turn the chair upside down to test if the new wheels are securely installed.
Installation Related: During the installation process of an office chair, thick screws and short screws (thin screws) are used to install components such as the five-star base, and five wheels are provided for installation. However, the reference information does not mention detailed information about the specific association between screws and caster installation.
