Abstract
A support member for removably supporting a swirler on a basket frame of a combustion gas turbine engine includes a plug removably mounted on the basket frame and a pin fixedly mounted on the swirler. A mechanical lock detachably connects the plug and the pin with one another, and the mechanical lock may include cooperating threads or other appropriate structures. The swirler is removed from the basket frame by detaching the plug from the basket frame, disconnecting the plug from the pin, and sliding the swirler longitudinally along its own axis whereby the pin clears the mounting hole within which the plug was mounted.
