Een vastzittend vuursteenwiel repareren van een Zippo-aansteker

Moeilijkheid

Eenvoudig

Stappen

5

Tijd vereist

5 - 10 minuten

Inleiding

Doet je Zippo aansteker het niet omdat het vuursteenwieltje vast zit? Geen zin om geld te investeren in een gloednieuwe aansteker? Je vuursteenwiel zit vast omdat de stalen staaf op een ongemakkelijke positie tegen het wiel zit, waardoor het wiel onbeweeglijk is. Ontdek hoe u de stalen stang losmaakt en uw Zippo repareert

    • Open je Zippo-aansteker en haal het binnenste onderdeel uit de buitenkant door het er eenvoudig uit te trekken.

    • Pas op voor de vloeistof die al in de aansteker zit, deze kan eruit lekken.

    It worked! I’m so happy! Thank u!!!

    • Draai de aansteker om en zoek de koperkleurige schroef.

    • Draai de koperen schroef los met de platte schroevendraaier

    • Draai de rest van de koperen schroef met je hand los.

    • Draai de koperen schroef los totdat deze loskomt en de veer eronder zichtbaar is, maar haal de veer er niet helemaal uit.

    Non riesco a svitare questa vite, consigli su come fare??

    • Trek de koperen schroef en veer ongeveer een centimeter of twee naar buiten om het stalen gedeelte onder het vuursteen wiel los te maken, zodat het stalen gedeelte en het wiel elkaar niet raken.

    • Tik indien nodig op het apparaat om het stalen gedeelte los te maken

    I want this spring plz tell how I can buy it .

This made the problem even worse. The flint wheel is now unstuck but it can't make any sparks whatsoever.

Nabiel Wahedi -

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.

Bret lauk -

You need to replace the flint itself in that case.

jayanthkumarak -

Wonderful instructions! AND IT WORKED! Thank you.

John Heard -

Thanks! I fixed it!!

robbysmama1994 -

It worked very good for me. Thank you!

Where can I get a flint spring

Rick Newell -

I just took a spring from an old bic. Worked perfect. Finding a screw to fit is my current dilemma…

Chris Boucher -

I just used an old bic spring. Now i just need a screw to hold it in place lol

Chris Boucher -

I accidently pulled the entire spring out now what do i do ;-;

Aaun -

I accidently pulled the entire spring off

Aaun -

Just push it back in. If you happen to need more flint, it sells really cheap on Amazon.

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.

Sam Goldheart -

Thanks Sam. I'm going to give it a try.

Angie Ford -

Same thing as the guy on the top, fixed but no sparks. But hey it got the thing unstuck.also neon is

Ks Kavitha -

sarahfolmer -

shawn.carter -

Nancy McGoldrick -

hello. i removed the rod COMPLETELY and the flint is still stuck into the wheel. the rod is not in the zippo and it is still stuck and the wheel is still unmoving. what do i do?? plz help

nicolla b -

If it won't spark the rod itself fell out. You need to find it or replace it.

Carson Renwick -

I've watched videos of using a 1/16 inch drill bit to drill in the hole to get what degrees won't come out I've done this repeatedly and repeatedly and still my wheel is locked up when I replace it with a new Flint I've been doing this for too long.

Jeff hill -

Perfect instructions. Unlocked a jammed flint that has been stuck since 1970 in a lighter my Dad carried in Vietnam. Works now. Thanks!

Gerald Miller -

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.

June Minard -

In my zippo there still old flint powder and even if i removed the spring It doesnt come off

Un_Pittore -

Fixed it thanks

Hugh Jass -

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?

Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!
