How do you replace the flint in a dunhill lighter?
It is really easy (when you know how!). Open the top, slide the very top piece (it's a small bar 8mm long and 2mm wide) above the flint BACK (there's a groove for your thumbnail DIRECTLY behind the screw which holds the flintwheel in place), which flips out the flint holder, and insert a new one. Easy Peasy !

How do you replace flint on a cigarette lighter It is an antique lighter the brand name appears to be lido?
The changing of flint is a fairly simple affair. You need a dime, the flint, and a piece of white paper. Placing the paper on a flat surface, put the lighter in an upright position. Grasp the body of the lighter in one hand and the casing in the other and pull. The lighter should come out of the case fairly easily. Turn the lighter over and locate the fibers at the bottom. Carefully pull the fiber from the wheel end and locate the screw. Use the dime to turn the screw and remove the tension spring. Shake the lighter to remove the old flint, then insert the new flint in the tube that the spring came from. Reinsert the spring, tighten the screw, replace the fiber, fill with fluid, and reinsert the lighter into the case.

What is flint made of?
There are two different flints. One is natural rock (used in flintlock firearms) The other is the "flint" in a cigarette lighter. That is not truly flint, but Misch metal, composed of iron oxide and rare earth metals, such as cerium and neodymium. Flint is commonly referred to as a quartz mineral, although flint that sparks may be another type as shown above.

How do you get a Zippo to spark?
If you have not tried spinning the wheel on the Zippo try that. I know that seems obvious but someone might not know that. Or if you have tried that and it does not work then you need a flint for your Zippo. These are usually sold separately from the Zippo. Once you have the Zippo flint you can place it into the lighter by removing the Zippo from the case by grasping the chimney (the thing with holes in it once you open the lighter) and the case and pulling them in opposite directions. Once the two pieces are separate, you look at the lighter's bottom, there should be a screw and some soft cloth. Unscrew the screw to replace the flint. after removing the screw and the spring, drop a flint in the hole while holding the lighter upside down, place the spring in the hole, then screw the screw back in.
