I just posted a problem with the gas lift in my office chair and happened to see your post. It appears in my case, that gas lift is never coming out of its sockets again, I have tried a number of different ways. It’s so precisely fitted into these openings, it’s not moving the slightest fraction of a mm. So if you decide to replace those gas lifts, before ordering I highly recommend you first try a couple to see if you’re able to remove them at all - it might simply not work, and you could be stuck with these like I am

Thank you all for your comments. Understood, I won’t even try to repair. At this point it sounds like it’s going to be more feasible to get new ones :( Any advice on how to avoid this happening again if I buy new ones?

I think when buying new ones, you’d only have to make sure they’re built at least for your weight - and then some, to avoid the same thing happening again. Maybe don’t skimp and make sure you get quality. To make sure you can use them, a) see my previous comment and b) get precise measurements!
