I've heard that with some lighters you have to unscrew the outer backshell of the lighter to disassemble them, but on mine you have to remove the 1/4" nut on the underside and remove all the little parts. If yours is the same make sure you put all the little parts back in the same order they were removed.

He's right about that... So easy to get it back together the wrong way...
I cracked the cermaic insert and never did get it put back together correctly.
