Hope the following tip is useful to others: Long story short, if the pipe wrench is not budging the old gas piston, get a blow dryer or a heat gun (basically the macho tool version of a blow dryer) and point it as the base of the gas piston (i.e. where it enters the seat) for a good 10-20 minutes. I'm in the middle of doing a gas piston replace on a second chair, and I had hoped it would be easier than the first, but it looks like I'm going to have to pull out the blow dryer again. As other commenters have said, I tried all the obvious tricks. My pipe wrench actually cut GROOVES in the metal of the old gas piston. The blow dryer worked. I'm still not sure why. Obviously metal expands when it heats up, maybe some combination of that expansion breaking the seal, or just forcing the hole to widen, or the heat softening the plastic sleeve it slots into. Any way you slice it, it worked.

I tried other instructions on how to separate the wheelbase and the cylinder, but it wouldn't budge. I found your video and your tip about popping the clip on the bottom of the cylinder was the missing piece of the puzzle for my Dormeo Bristol Octaspring chair. I followed the same steps on the new cylinder and was finally able to successfully remove the old one and install the new one. Thanks so much!

I bought a chair from amazon and couldn't separate it to fix it and your video helped a lot. We also used a little bit of oil inside and it worked perfectly. Thank you for the amazing video.

would a rubber mallet work instead of a hammer?

this is so wrong in so many levels, you do not hammer the gas lift and you do not need to remove that clip, there are no serviceable parts in it. use a rubber mallet to hammer the base of the chair while holding the gas lift to remove it.

But she appears right. That clip was holding the end of cylinder to the wheel base.

the onlt right you said is using a rubber hammer but her step is more safe because you are taking out the parts of a cylinder that can explode if you hammer it wrong specially the beginners
