An apparatus configured to support a diffuser segment during removal from and installation into an assembly. The apparatus includes a body having two or more supports and at least two clamp rods. The clamp rods each extend from a first end to a second end. The body defines a pocket extending between the supports on a first side of the clamp rods. An end clamp releasably mates with the second end of each clamp rod. The end clamp has a foot extending into the first side of the clamp rod. A wheel is received within each support. The pocket and the foot of each end clamp releasably retain a diffuser segment and the wheels rotate to allow the diffuser segment to be removed without damaging a surface coating of the diffuser segment.
