A reconfigurable fastener multi-spindle tool system includes multiple spindle assemblies, each including a support ring and a support arm sleeve received in the support ring and rotatable on a central longitudinal axis of the support ring. At least one support arm is connected to the support ring. The at least one support arm rotates with respect to the central longitudinal axis. A spindle is fixed to the support arm and is displaceable with respect to the central longitudinal axis. The spindle has an adaptor to temporarily retain and torque a fastener. A reaction plate is connected to the spindle and has a geometric shape. At least one template plate has multiple openings each having a geometric shape matching the geometric shape of the reaction plate. One of the openings receives the reaction plate thereby preventing axial rotation of the spindle.

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a first device coupled to a bearing compartment structure, a second device coupled to an engine case structure, and a controller. The controller is configured to: issue a command to one of the first device or the second device to generate a signal, obtain data from the other of the one of the first device or the second device, where the data is based on the signal, process the data to determine that a skew exists between the bearing compartment structure and the engine case structure in an amount that is greater than a threshold, identify at least one torqueing device to activate based on processing the data, and cause the at least one torqueing device to activate to cause the bearing compartment structure and the engine case structure to align within the threshold amount.

A gas turbine engine includes a gearbox. The gearbox includes a housing at a forward part of a core compartment of a gas turbine engine. A plurality of accessory drives are each configured to rotatably couple the gas turbine engine accessory gearbox to one of a plurality of accessory components.

A method for positioning a cam element on a shaft segment of a camshaft with an assembly aid element may comprise arranging the shaft segment relative to a first tool such that a first distal shaft segment end of the shaft segment lies flush against a surface of the tool that is directed towards the shaft segment; arranging the cam element on the shaft segment in a pre-position; arranging a first distal end of the assembly aid element to contact the surface of the first tool that is directed towards the shaft segment such that the assembly aid element forms a defined distance to the first tool along a shaft-segment longitudinal axis; and moving a second tool at least in sections along the longitudinal axis until the second tool contacts a second distal end of the assembly aid element, and pushing the cam element by means of the second tool to a final position.

A turbine part replacing apparatus for moving a combustor of an industrial gas turbine from and to a mounting port of the gas turbine is disclosed, the apparatus including a mobile frame with a moving mechanism for substantially horizontal translation motion on the ground, a vertically extendable arm attached to and extending from said mobile frame, and a carriage attached to the extendable arm such that the carriage may be moved vertically with respect to the mobile frame. Moreover, the turbine part replacing apparatus is adapted for receiving the combustor in the carriage and for vertically moving the received combustor by the extendable arm from and to the mounting port.

A method for unscrewing a link nut of an HP rotor of a twin-spool turbine, including a front fan, an intermediate casing, a HP module with a HP rotor, and a LP turbine module, the intermediate casing including a support bearing for the HP rotor, the rotor being retained in the bearing by the link nut, the method including: placing an unscrewing tool in front of the link nut after having removed the fan and released access to the nut from the front; with rotation of the HP rotor locked and the frontal unscrewing tool including a socket spanner including teeth having a shape that complements that of teeth of the link nut, attaching a mounting for the socket spanner to the intermediate casing, the socket spanner being rotatably mounted on the mounting, and applying an unscrewing torque to the socket spanner. An unscrewing tool implements the method.
