I have a wooden rocking chair could I just remove the rockers and use it as a normal chair ?
I have taken many chairs apart in my shop. People bring them to me for different reasons, but mostly because they are wobbly. Some parts of the chairs are still solid though so what I do is to gently rock the pieces back and forth. They always loosen up so I can take them apart without damage.

Agree with zard, if a few areas are stubborn use a rubber mallet.
Very carefully! Take pictures of the chair assembled so you know what part goes where. Use a rubber mallet and tap gently. If it's glued, you might research how to loosen the glue.
