You might need to tap it a few times but it should pop out fairly easily.<br> In order to get a snug fit for your replacement chair glides, use a plier to pry in the metal in 2 or 3 places. This will mean your replacement glides will fit better and won’t fall out easily.<br> Next, put the new glide into position and hold. You will need to tap it into the casing with a mallet.
