Abstract: An aircraft engine repair tool for installing and/or removing a mid turbine frame from a gas turbine engine is provided. The tool includes a stabilizer configured to support a shaft via a load path different from a load path provided by the mid turbine frame rotatably supporting the shaft about a rotation axis. The tool includes a holder attachable to the mid turbine frame, and a guide movably engageable with the shaft and attachable to the holder. The guide guides movement of the holder and of the mid turbine frame relative to the shaft along the rotation axis, and prevents movement of the holder and the mid turbine frame relative to the shaft transverse to the rotation axis when the mid turbine frame is released from the support structure and attached to the holder, and when the holder is attached to the guide.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine yoke includes an arcuate body mountable to a stand and rotatable between an upright orientation and a horizontal orientation. The body has an inner wall spaced apart from an outer wall and first and second side walls extending between the inner and outer walls. A mounting plane of the yoke extends through the inner and outer walls and is positioned between the first and second side walls. Engine attachments are spaced apart along the inner wall and lie in the mounting plane. A method of assembling the gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
