Answer 1

You need to change the flint, not the entire wheel.

Answer 2

yes you need to replace the flint. you get to it from the bottom. You can buy packs of like 6 or 8 at the store for about $2. If that doesnt work it may be time for a new sparker. lol

Answer 3

Is there a flint in it?

If it is Zippo you can send it back and they will repair or replace it.

Answer 4

replace the flint

unscrew the s***w on the bottom of the lighter with a dime, drop a flint in the hole, put the s***w and spring back in... flints are really cheap
