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
- Manual Phillips screwdriver
Steps
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Tighten all screws fully
Once all four screws are in place, tighten each one securely using the manual screwdriver.
-
Repeat for the other arm pad
Follow the same process for the second arm pad.
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.
