A hose connection system for connecting a hose to a gas turbine engine. The hose connection system may include a connection fitting and a connection tool. The connection fitting may include a first member to be attached to the gas turbine engine, a mating component to be attached to the hose, and a splined second member to be torqued onto the first member. The connection tool may include a drive wheel with a number of drive wheel splines such that the drive wheel splines torque the splined second member onto the first member.

Leak-detection systems for detecting fluid leaks in component(s) included in an apparatus are disclosed. The leak-detection systems may include an inspection vehicle for inspecting the component(s) of the apparatus. The inspection vehicle may include at least one camera positioned on a housing, and a fluid-detection tool coupled to the housing. The fluid-detection tool may detect fluids leaking from the component(s) of the apparatus. The leak-detection system may also include a leak-detection device in electronic communication with the fluid-detection tool of the inspection vehicle. The leak-detection device may be configured to identify a specific component of the apparatus leaking a fluid using fluid detection data generated by the fluid-detection tool of the inspection vehicle, and predetermined component data relating to each component of the apparatus. The leak-detection device may also be configured to provide a notification including component-leak information relating to the specific component of the apparatus leaking the fluid.

A staking tool includes an assembly having two substantially parallel punch members. The punch members are located partially in a punch body, and the punch body is located adjacent to a lower shaft. The lower shaft has an angled face configured to contact the punch body so that an angle is formed between the punch body and lower shaft. A main shaft is connected to the lower shaft. A cap is connected to the main shaft. A blow applied to the cap transfers force to the punch body, and the angled face redirects the direction of the force by the angle.
