If you are having problems with your Zippo lighter, not sparking, or not lighting, your flint may be the root cause of the problem. This tutorial brings you through all the steps necessary to add, change, or replace the flints in your Zippo wick style lighter. Firstly you must take the lighter insert out of the lighter casing. After that you need to flip the insert upside down to access the flint canal. Unscrew the golden screw and pull out the screw and spring combination. Tap out any small or unused portions of flint and add a new flint into the chamber. Screw your screw back on, put your lighter insert back into the Zippo sleeve, and you are good to go!
Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this video! I am now going to use my great grandfathers Zippo's lighter from World War 2 when he was a pilot. William P. Jones is carved on the side of the lighter. He passed away in 1968 so it may have not been used way before that!

Thank you. I don't smoke but I need lighters constantly and the ones that use the propane the fuel is incredibly expensive and the kids are always going around flicking them and bleeding and dry. If the supply chain goes down I want to have lighters so I've gotten several Zippos now I need to educate myself on them. Appreciate you

Is it still pushing the flint all the way up to the striker wheel? If so I don’t really see a problem. If not you could easily fix it by just stacking a few flints until it reaches the striker wheel

Really all depends on how much you are sparking the wheel lol. For me that seems like a crapload!!! I could make a flint last a year or more, but then again I don’t use my lighter all the often anymore and also have multiple to use.

Ok, so I did all that and when I try to strike it, the wheel would not move. BTW my zippo is very old and has sat for 9 years without use, so I did use some WD40 on the wheel, wiped it dry and clean, then tried it again and it moves now but still dose not strike. When I drop the new flint in, you can't even see it come out the other end near the wheel, it's like an old flint may be jammed inside. Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
@RobSomeKnowledge
@RobSomeKnowledge 2 года назад
Try to look down the tube from the bottom end that you would normally fill it. Can you see any flint stuck? Hold it up near a light and see if you can see straight through it or not.

Did you make sure you are turning it the right way? The red wheel only turns one way if I remember correctly.
@BugsAndWombats
@BugsAndWombats Год назад
@@RobSomeKnowledge I've tried going both ways and it won't budge either way. There's a little red protrusion all the way to the left of the dial, facing front. Looks like that stops it from going counter clockwise. It turned smoothly - no catches - to get to this position. I'm stumped, trapped at home and lighter less. 😭

Really depends how much you use the lighter, the more times you flick it and spark it, the less flint there is...but a flint normally lasts a long time

Yes. Generally if a flint fits you can use it. But I’d you use a flint that is too small in diameter it can feel a little wonky and might be prone to jamming when the flint is almost worn out
