Steelcase Leap V2 Arm Pad Replacement Guide
Welcome to another quick and easy tutorial from OfficeLogixShop. This guide shows the simplest way to remove and replace the arm pads on your Steelcase Leap V2 chair.
Tools Needed:
- New Steelcase Leap V2 Arm Pads from OfficeLogixShop
- Manual Phillips screwdriver
Steps:
1. Remove the old arm pads:
Turn the chair arm upside down to locate the four screws on the underside of the arm pad. Using a manual screwdriver, remove all four screws. Set the screws aside for reuse.
2. Position the new arm pad:
Place the new arm pad on the arm frame. A small gap between the pad and the frame at first is normal.
3. Secure one side and press the other:
Hold one end of the arm pad firmly in place so it does not shift. With your other hand, press down hard on the opposite end. The arm pad will bend slightly and drop fully into position.
4. Insert screws diagonally:
Begin inserting screws diagonally, one corner at a time. Lightly tighten the first screw just enough to hold the pad in place, then move to the opposite corner and do the same. Tip for easier installation: Do not fully tighten the first two screws. Leaving them slightly loose makes it easier to align and install the remaining screws.
5. Tighten all screws fully:
Once all four screws are in place, tighten each one securely using the manual screwdriver.
6. Repeat for the other arm pad:
Follow the same process for the second arm pad.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tools are required to replace the arm pads on the Steelcase Leap V2 chair?
You will need new arm pads from OfficeLogixShop and a manual Phillips screwdriver to safely remove and replace the screws on the underside of the arm frame.
How do you properly position and secure the new arm pad onto the chair's frame?
Place the new arm pad on the arm frame, keeping in mind that a small gap at first is completely normal. Hold one end firmly in place so it does not shift, and with your other hand, press down hard on the opposite end until the arm pad bends slightly and drops fully into position.
What is the best technique for inserting and tightening the screws during installation?
Begin inserting the screws diagonally, one corner at a time. Lightly tighten the first two screws just enough to hold the pad in place, which makes it much easier to align and install the remaining screws. Once all four screws are properly in place, tighten each one securely using the manual screwdriver.
Final Check:
Ensure all screws are tight and both arm pads are secure. Give each pad a firm press and a light wiggle to confirm stability.
