This made the problem even worse. The flint wheel is now unstuck but it can't make any sparks whatsoever.
me too it will not work i did the same and now it wont make sparks
cool kid -
Did you change the flint aswell? Change the flint and put it back together, if it won’t turn after changing the flint then loosen the spring again.
You need to replace the flint itself in that case.
Wonderful instructions! AND IT WORKED! Thank you.
Thanks! I fixed it!!
It worked very good for me. Thank you!
Where can I get a flint spring
I just took a spring from an old bic. Worked perfect. Finding a screw to fit is my current dilemma…
I just used an old bic spring. Now i just need a screw to hold it in place lol
Wish I'd seen this sooner. My dad's vintage flint wheel was stuck. I got a rubber gripper and worked it til it came free but now it just spins loosely. Is there anyway to fix this problem or have I broken it?

Hey Angie, it may just be a damaged flint that you can replace. Try following this video guide for replacing the flint, it’s not great quality but very informative.
Thanks Sam. I'm going to give it a try.
Same thing as the guy on the top, fixed but no sparks. But hey it got the thing unstuck.also neon is
Awesome! That worked..! Thanks Bro!
Thankyou great step by step guide and it fixed my
That did not work
Awesome!!! Finally got it to work!! Thanks
If it won't spark the rod itself fell out. You need to find it or replace it.
Perfect instructions. Unlocked a jammed flint that has been stuck since 1970 in a lighter my Dad carried in Vietnam. Works now. Thanks!
Once mine was free of flint debris and spinning free, I put my new flint in, screwed it in and was stuck again...so I loosened it again, til I had no flint touching wheel, and lightly pressed down on wheel wheel I rescrewed it in. I let go, and bam, worked perfect. So for those with the resticking wheel, try that. Press down on wheel to keep flint from popping through the hole, as you screw it in. Then let go of wheel. Works every time now.
In my zippo there still old flint powder and even if i removed the spring It doesnt come off
Also check that the flint wheel itself or the pin that holds it is not damaged. This guide is certainly helpful to disassemble and remove the flint but unfortunately the pin that holds my striker wheel is damaged. Is there a way to remove the pin or should I just buy a new drop-in?
It worked! I’m so happy! Thank u!!!
