Abstract:
A method of assembling a turbine frame assembly for use in a gas turbine engine includes the step of disposing the outer casing in a generally concentric relationship with an annular inner hub and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart and radially extending struts attached to the hub. The method further includes inserting at least one cam alignment tool through one of a plurality of casing mount holes and into a corresponding one of a plurality of clevis base mount holes, with the clevis being attached to an outer end of a first one of the struts. The cam alignment tool is rotated to cam the strut relative to the casing to align the casing mount holes with the clevis mount holes. The clevis base is then fastened to the outer casing and the cam alignment tool is removed.
