My new office chair's cylinder cover thing was put in slanted

You sure it's not one of the wheels that's fucked up? That can throw it off balance.

The wheels are perfectly fine. It's gotta be this black thing. Looked at it from different angles, it's definitely bent.

Hit it with a rubber mallet on the bottom until it pops out. Or put a piece of wood on the bottom of the cylinder and whack it with anything until it pops out.

Bringing rubber mallets in to the office is generally frowned upon

Once that goes it's done. You may be able to put some duct tape around the post that sits in that hole to take the wobble out. However, it won't spin anymore.Otherwise you'll need a new one.The fact that it's jammed in there is another problem.That's only held in there by gravity. That thing should just lift out.Did you check the bolts holding the tilt unit to the chair bottom?Those come loose quit often.One of the leg wheel posts could be wallowed out. Most likely the bearings in that black thing[forget the name] are gone.You might find one in the garbage by the side of the road or you could call the manufacturer and get a new one. If you have something hot in the office other than a coworker you may be able to heat it up and loosen it through expansion.Like the other guys said noise is what will work.

Alright thanks guys, bought a cheap rubber mallet and pounded it out real quick.
Looks like the hole made in the plastic star base is crooked, not sure I can get it replaced since I lost the receipt, so just in case I can't, anywhere you can buy parts like this online?
