Abstract
This disclosure provides tools for installing and removing a combustion liner in a combustion casing. A mounting frame has fasteners positioned circumferentially around an end casing surface of the combustion casing and removably attaches the mounting frame to the combustion casing. A positioning member has pushing surfaces and pulling surfaces distributed circumferentially around the combustion liner. An axial positioning mechanism engages the mounting frame and the positioning member along a common axis. The axial positioning mechanism incrementally positions the positioning member relative to the mounting frame by adjusting a positioning distance between the mounting frame and the positioning member.
