If it's stiff it could be because the flint is worn down/gone and the wheel is trying to turn against the metal pusher that keeps the flint tight. You'll grind that down if you keep trying ot turn it so put a new flint in. If it's not the flint, try prying the tabs a little bit that hold the wheel and add some oil to the pin. If the wheel turns freely with the flint assembly out, then it's probably caused by the friction with the flint.
