My kitchen chairs (Monky Wards) need new glides. How do I get the old fasteners out of the chair leg (wooden)? I don't see a nail head sticking out. The sliders are nearly or all gone.

If you can’t grab the nail wire then you can use a nail punch and drive the nail into the leg. then super glue and new glide to the lag. good luck!
The thing they use to put cement on bricks would be finer to get under it. Some of these plastic tips seem to be super glued on along with a nail. Or the thing they use to sculpt a statue. Lol sorry I don't know English words.

Thank you for this information.
Why not drill into the existing hole? Or reuse it if it isn't too small?

wondering the same thing, any reason not to use same hole?

I think they are nails. Not screws. You can't really hammer the nail into the same hole.

Thanks for the questions. Good catch, @tirasgans1449 - you're right on the money. These are typically nails, not screws. Using the same hole isn't ideal for a few reasons: 1. Nails don't grip well in an existing hole 2. The old hole might be worn or widened 3. A fresh hole ensures a tight fit Sometimes, you have to lose a little wood to save your floor. But hey, if you've got a method that works for you, more power to you. Thanks for watching!

But... what if the caps broke off and your kid pounded the nail in? Reality?

You're drilling a new hole near to the original hole. The unremovable nail shouldn't be an issue (if nail is flush with the wood).

Ah, reality strikes again. If the nail's pounded in, you've got a project on your hands. Options: 1. Try pulling the nail. Might damage the wood a bit. 2. Cut it flush, drill a pilot hole, use a screw-in glide. 3. Last resort: new chair leg. None are perfect, but they beat a scratched floor. Good luck with the repair... and the kid. 😆
