Step 2Disassembly and Zippo modification
1- Disassembling the Zippo is extremely easy. Pull the lighter mechanism out of the case like you would if you were going to refill the fluid. The screw on the bottom comes out and the felt part slides off. Then you will find lots of cotton and the wick, this needs to go too. Save these parts you can use them later to repair other Zippos.
2- Next, we need to remove the flint wheel to make way for the switch that will turn the LED on and off.
Use the rotary cutter (Dremel Tool) or hack saw to carefully cut off the tabs that hold the flint wheel but don't cut into the wick guard. We need this part for the switch to tighten down to.
