Abstract
A method of positioning exits of diffuser pipes of a centrifugal compressor in an aircraft engine includes aligning an alignment tool with a structure supporting the diffuser pipes, and rotating each diffuser pipe about an inlet axis thereof to close a gap between a surface of the diffuser pipe and part of the alignment tool until the diffuser pipe abuts the part of the alignment tool. The alignment tool includes for example a body defining a center axis and having at least one tool datum configured for abutting against the casing, and a plurality of alignment members that are fixed to the body and extend radially from the body relative to the center axis.
