People from all over the United States enjoy their lazy boy recliner’s comfort. But! It sucks when the spring on your recliner starts to malfunction, and you have no idea how to fix it. This guide discusses fixing the spring problem with the lazy boy recliner, and I will use diagrams to make the whole process easier for you.

Step One: Prepare materials and tools

Every repair requires tools that will make work faster and easier. I recommend you obtain the following tools for this project:

• Screwdriver
• Replacement spring
• Hammer

Besides, you will need to prepare cardboard tubes, hose clamps, and plywood. You can get them at any shop that sells building materials. Just don’t forget to purchase high-quality materials. It is better to spend some money now rather than it will brake later.

So, I hope that you’ve prepared all tools and materials for repairing the lazy boy recliner spring. Now we can start our repairs.

Step Two: Remove The Upholstery

The first step is to take off all of the upholstery from the chair. This will give you access to the springs and mechanism underneath. Use a screwdriver to remove any screws or nails holding the upholstery in place. Be careful not to damage the upholstery as you remove it. Set aside your upholstery as you have removed it.

Step Three: Inspect The Springs

Now that you have access to the springs take a close look at them. See if there are any that are broken or damaged. If so, then you will need to replace them with new ones. It is not as hard as you could think. You will need to simply unscrew the old springs and screw in the new ones.

If all of the springs seem to be in good condition, you can move on to the next step.

Step Four: Test The Mechanism

Once you have inspected and repaired the springs, it is time to test the mechanism. Sit in the chair and recline back. Does it feel sturdy? Does it spring back into place? If so, then you have successfully repaired your lazy boy recliner.
