flip open the lighter,, looking down onto the top of the mechanism there is a bar about 8mm long which overlaps two parts. There is a groove in the front of this bar, simply push on the groove, moving the bar towards the hinge edge of the top. The flint housing will be released and swing out, pop a new flint in and push the houseing back into position. The bar will pop back into possition.
To replace the flint on an Omscolite Superlighter, first, ensure the lighter is empty of fuel. Then, locate the flint chamber, usually found near the bottom or side of the lighter. Use a small screwdriver or a similar tool to remove the screw or cap holding the flint in place, replace the old flint with a new one, and reassemble the lighter. Finally, refill with fuel and test the lighter to ensure it's working properly.
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.
To change the flint on a Dunhill dress lighter, first, locate the flint compartment, usually found at the bottom or side of the lighter. Use a small screwdriver or a similar tool to carefully open the compartment, then remove the old flint. Insert a new flint into the chamber, ensuring it fits snugly, and reassemble the lighter. Finally, test the lighter to ensure it ignites properly.

How do you replace the flint in a scorch torch model # 61355
To replace the flint in your Zippo, you will need flint, a dime, and a white sheet of paper. Place the white piece of paper on a flat surface and assemble your items upon it. To reach the screw that holds the flint, grasp the lighter firmly in your hand and pull the inside of the lighter up out of the case. Lay the case aside and turn the lighter upside down. You will see a felt pad covering the whole bottom of the metal lighter assembly. With your fingernail, gently pry the pad up out of the casing and lay it aside. If your fingernail are too short to accomplish this, use the dime to pry the edge of the pad up. There is now visible a screw and much wadding. Take the dime and turn the screw counter clockwise until the spring pops up. Remove the spring and screw from the little tube they sit in. Drop the flint into the tube and replace the spring assembly in the tube. Tighten the screw until it is snug. At this time, it can be advisable to fill the lighter. Replace the felt pad in the bottom of the lighter casing. Replace the lighter assembly into the outer case and spin the thumb wheel. The lighter should spark nicely. If you have over filled the lighter, blow into the wick assembly and the flint wheel and try again. The lighter will light within seconds. Discard the paper.

Relax. The lighter fluid that accidentally spilled over the side can be wiped off. The rest will evaporate in a few minutes. When you replace the lighter in the case, allow a couple of seconds for the fluid to evaporate off the flint and the wick. Then try to strike it. If the flint does not spark, wait a few seconds more. The lighter fluid is not dangerous unless it is near a heat source. Wash your hands and then try to light the lighter again. It is fine if you overfill; the lighter won't work until the excess has evaporated.
There are not alot of parts on a zippo lighter which is why it is such a reliable lighter. the main components are the flint, chimeny, flint wheel, case, case insert, cotton balls, wick, cam (that's what makes the famous zippo cling), and felt pad. there are other littlle components such as pins and the hinge on the case as well. you can replace all of the following parts yourself: the wick and flint. if you have any other problems you can send your zippo to the zippo factory in pennsillvaina and they will either fix it or replace it free of charge. hope I helped
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.
the flint creates a spark for it to light
