Can I replace the casters on my existing office chair with these?

Do I need to purchase screws for installation?

Troubleshooting
Caster does not roll smoothly
Check for debris caught in the wheels or the swivel mechanism. Clean the wheels and axle. Ensure the mounting plate is securely fastened and not warped.
Furniture feels unstable
Verify that all casters are properly installed and securely screwed to the furniture. Ensure the total weight of the furniture does not exceed the combined load capacity of all casters (e.g., 300 lbs for four 75 lb capacity casters).
Caster wheel wobbles
Inspect the wheel for damage or uneven wear. Ensure the wheel is properly seated on its axle. If damage is present, replace the caster.
Caster spins but doesn't move furniture
Confirm that the mounting plate is securely attached to the furniture. If the plate itself is loose, tighten the screws. Ensure the furniture is not overloaded beyond the caster's capacity.
