Rocker Spring Plates
- Note Assembly Order: Before removing anything, photograph or note how the parts stack so you can reinstall them in the exact same sequence
- Remove Old Plates: Detach the old plates from the chair and keep all of the original hardware for reassembly
- Use Old Plate as a Template: Line up the old plate on top of the new one with the edges matched, then clamp both securely
- Drill New Holes: Drill through the old plate's holes, keeping at least 3/8" between each hole and the plate edge. A drill press gives the cleanest holes
- Inspect for Cracks: Check both plates carefully for cracks or splintering around the new holes before installing
- Reassemble: Reinstall all parts and hardware in the original order. Do not over-tighten — too much pressure can crack the fiberglass
Drilling Fiberglass? Wear safety glasses and a dust mask — the dust irritates skin, eyes and lungs. Use a sharp bit and light pressure to prevent chipping
