changing wick

this is my first tutorial about maintenance. there will be more of them and this is first one. ok, so. one day, you open your zippo and you see that your wick is black and burned. so, what to do? of course, we need to pull the old part out and cut it. ok, you take something like tweezers and pull it - ups! no more flint! ok. what now? first - buy a brand new flint. you can find it in any shop that sells zippo lighters, flints or fluid (at least i can). so, buy it. it is cheap. now, go back home and take your zippo. pull it out from casing and remove that gold screw from bottom. watch out, that thing has a spring, it can jump out. after you remove the screw, take tweezers and pull out the sponge and all the cotton from it, even the cotton that is behind the flint tube. as you pull it out, assort it on your table so you can easily put it back. now take your wick and get it through small hole on top. pull it out to the top of chimney. now, bend it on side, then put one or two parts of cotton back in. then bend a wick to other side of zippo and bend it around the flint tube. now again, put one or two pieces of cotton back inside and bend wick on the other side. repeat that until you put all the wick in lighter. you should fold your wick in lighter so you get kind of Z shape.ok, put the rest of cotton inside, press it with something, put that sponge on top and return the screw (don't forget your flint). pour your zippo fluid in and put your lighter back into casing. congratulations, you changed your wick.now enjoy until you spend it again. Good luck!
