If you look down from the top, you'll see a hole right next to where the flame comes out. That's where the flint is (you'll see a tiny cylinder laying on it's side). If you tipped the lighter upside down while holding that slide back, the flint falls out (do this over a white piece of paper or something so you can easily find it).

To put it back in, just drop it in and make sure it lays on it's side and not up and down. If you don't get it in right, your lighter won't spark.

Hope that helps until I can get some pics up.

How would one go about replacing the flint? I have never used a lighter like this. Only torches!

One of the ones I got the lid doesnt close 100% perfect anyone else have that issue and is there a quick fix other than sending it back?

If you unscrew the bottom fill valve there is a threaded insert that you can take a flathead screwdriver and loosen slightly. If you take a very small flathead and unscrew the one holding the flame adjustment part slightly also, the lighter lid will sit more flush. I did that and avoided having to send mine back in, paying the shipping and waiting for the new one to come :p haha.

P.S. I might finally get a chance to take some pics for a tutorial on the lighter this weekend :p haha
