Remove the windscreen. This is the metal casing circling the top of the lighter. Remove the flint wheel. This is the bumpy, circular part you press your thumb against when lighting the lighter. You should also remove the spring tip and flint, which are attached to the wheel. Once you pull the wheel out of the lighter, these parts should come out as well. Remove the fork, which is the plastic part, often colored red, lining the tip of the lighter. You press down on the tip of the fork when lighting a lighter. You should also remove the spring and jet off the lighter. These are two long devices, one metallic and the other a spring, sticking into two holes in the canister of the lighter. You should be able to see the spring and jet easily once you remove the fork.
