I've got a 4-star base aluminum group chair with broken casters that I want to take off and replace with glides. It's not obvious to me how these come of...do I just pry them off? Has anyone done this before?

BTW, these are BALL casters, not the wheel casters on the later models.

Spelling lesson
Thanks for the advice...and for the alternative spelling.

Ok
They might be called 'casters' elsewhere in the world.
but I'm getting a liitle pissed off with the poor use of the English language..maybe it's old age ?
I had to read a package of herbs yesterday asking me to keep them away from 'drafts'..not draughts..
Maybe it's just a shift of language, but it annoys me .....

Not a shift in language. Sim...
Not a shift in language. Simply a difference between UK English and American English, I think.
To us American's the words "tyre" and "colour" look ridiculous.....don't even get me started on "gaol".....;-) That said, we agreed to disagree on these things long ago. BTW, I always thought "droughts" was your funny name for checkers.....? Maybe the package means that you should send your herbs to Canada so that they don't end up in Vietnam? The English language is a funny thing, no?

that reminds me ...
there was a brit and a yank talking about cars, and each one was getting frustrated with the other over the terminology.
the american pointed out some differences: "we call it a trunk, but you brits call it a boot. we call it a hood, but you call it a bonnet. we call it a truck, but you call it a lorry. what do you make of it all?"
the brit replied smugly, "well, we invented the english language!"
to which the american countered, "yes, but we invented the truck!"
