Repairing or fixing bar stool swivels having a broken plastic race which keeps the bearings separate from each other, or a swivel in which the bearings are falling out cannot be repaired. It must be replaced.

Other reasons for replacement

• powdery and sometimes greasy residue
• rough or grinding noise
• ball bearing on the floor
• bouncing side to side when leaning
• broken memory return spring

Replacement is not difficult. It is only to remove the screws or bolts from the swivel plates. Some swivel chairs or stools have an round access hole in which to insert a screwdriver to remove the fastener. Others will require that the swivel is 1/4 turned so that the fastener can be accessed.

The most difficult part is determining whether it is Flat or Tilted then click HELP.

Size on most swivel plates can be more daunting than it needs to be. The plate size is not important, but the mounting screw hole pattern (measured from one screw to the next screw) being identical can make installation easier.

Example
A swivel plate(s) measuring 6" has a mounting screw pattern of 5 1/4".
Our swivel plates measure 6 3/4" (frequently called 7") but the mounting pattern is still 5 1/4" and it will replace perfectly. Almost always, the 6" plate is a lighter gauge steel and usually has fewer ball bearings too. It is a cheaper swivel and nothing more can be said.
