LED Concert Lighter

Step 2 Disassembly

After you have all your materials together you will want to start taking apart your lighter but before you do make sure all the fluid is drained from the lighter. Its best to use a dead one but if you don't have one you can use a rubber band to depress the fuel lever, make sure to do this in a well ventilated area as a buildup of flammable gasses could cause problems.

First remove the metal Shield gently with your pliers (you need this piece intact later so don't force it off).

Then take out your striker wheel by gently prying the tabs holding it in place (also don't break the tabs they are important), when you get the wheel loose watch your eyes as the flint and tension spring will have a tendency to fly out.

Once the striker is out you can (gently) remove the fuel lever, there is a spring under this piece as well and you need that spring so be very careful.

And lastly while removing the fuel lever the fuel valve should also come out.

or you could put a pin in the bottom release valve

I figured a controlled release would be better then a rapid release of pressure, but really you might as well use an empty lighter to save yourself the trouble, there is certainly no shortage of spent lighters around bars
