Abstract

A service tool releasably couples to a service port receiver connected to a service port associated with a gearbox. The tool includes a coupling for releasably coupling to the service port receiver. The coupling is configured for rotational movement about the receiver between a released and engaged positions. A locking actuator couples to the coupling arrangement for axial movement between locked and unlocked positions relative to the receiver. A plunger actuator connects to the fluid conduit and is slidably coupled to the coupling arrangement for movement between open and closed positions. In the open position, with the coupling arrangement in the engaged position and the locking actuator in the locked position, the plunger actuator contacts a check valve of the service port receiver and opens it to permit fluid flow between the gearbox and the fluid conduit via a fluid pathway formed at least in part by the plunger actuator.
