Abstract:
A tool (28) for dislodging lubrication-blocking debris from machinery elements. A housing (30) includes a forward internal chamber. An adapter (34) receives an explosive charge element and completes the chamber. The adapter includes an exteriorly-threaded portion for affixation of the tool to a lubrication access hole. A firing mechanism (38) is positioned and spring loaded at a rear chamber of the housing. In use, the tool is inserted in place of a grease nipple and the explosive charge element detonated, for example, by striking the exposed end of the firing mechanism with as a hammer. A pulse of pressurized gases is thereby generated to clear the blocked lubrication passage.
