Steelcase 453 Criterion Gas Cylinder

This part worked exactly as I needed it to. The Steelcase Criterion chair in which this piston was installed was out of commission for over a year. The repair brought it back to life. Thank you!

Steelcase 458 Sensor Gas Cylinder

An easy DIY replacement, clear instructions. The hardest part is removing the retaining ring, but I finally made progress by inserting and twisting a flat-head screwdriver. Also note that 3/4" electrical conduit works fine as a pipe to tap in the new retaining ring.
