Abstract

See full text

A method of separating a gas turbine engine includes steps to support the gas turbine engine on a core stand, and to move a fan stand into axial alignment with a core stand. The fan stand includes a base frame and a fan case frame coupled to the base frame at one edge by a hinge. The fan case frame rotates about an axis of the hinge between abutting the base frame and being perpendicular to the base frame, and includes a coupling arrangement that couples a fan case to the fan case frame. The method further includes steps to rotate and tilt the fan case frame into abutting relation with the fan case, couple the fan case to the fan case frame, decouple the fan case and core engine, and translate at least part of the core stand axially to separate the gas turbine engine.
