4. Pull gently outward on the bottom of one of the rear side panel covers to remove it (Fig.3).
5. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screw and washers that secure the metal hinge pin to the chair (Fig.4).
6. Using a pliers (or a vice grip if necessary), pull the hinge pin toward you until it is freed from the chair (Fig.5). NOTE: The hinge pin is lubricated.
Place it on a disposable object, such as a paper towel, to avoid damaging the flooring beneath the chair.
NOTE: When the hinge pin is removed, the two spacers that are located between the backrest and the chair base will most likely fall off (Fig.6).
Be sure to set these spacers aside for use during reassembly.
7. Repeat steps 4 - 6 on the other rear side panel panel.
8. Carefully lift the backrest up and off the chair base.
