Hi all,
Technical question time: How do you dismantle this Tecalemit grease gun completely to give it a good clean? I suspect that the cork washer inside may not be free to move.

Re: Tecalemit Grease Gun
The cork washer just slides over the piston doesn't it. You could dig it out with a bit of stiff wire, and make a new one if you trash it?
I think that would be safer than trying to remove the plunger - in fact I think that you will have to dig out the cork anyway. I think the rolled on plunger just retains the spring.

Excellent news. I've got an old Tecalmit and may also have a go at stripping it as well. That'll keep me occupied for a day of the lockdown!
