Zippo Lighter - Replace Flint
How to replace the flint on your Zippo windproof lighter if it won't light anymore.
Q: How do I re-flint my windproof lighter?
A: Using a flat-head screwdriver, coin or paper clip, remove the screw and attached spring at the end of the fuel chamber. Remove the old flint from the tube. Place a new genuine Zippo flint into the tube and replace spring. Screw it back in lightly. Be sure the screw is turned as far as it will go. If the wheel binds after new flint is inserted, turn the wheel backwards a few times.
