Reflinting a lighter is easy once you know what you need to do.

• Remove the inside unit from your lighter.

• Unscrew the flint spring using a small screwdriver or a coin (watch the spring so it doesn't fly away).

• Turning the inside unit right side up again, remove the remaining piece of flint (if any) by gently tapping the inside unit on a hard surface.

• Insert a new Zippo flint in the long flint tube from which you removed the spring (the spring has a brass tip on the end which many people believe is a flint - it is not).

• Replace the flint spring and screw it in.

• Replace the inside unit in your lighter case.

You're all set.
