Abstract
A method is provided for use with an annular gas turbine engine component that includes a main body and an annular seal engaged to the main body with an interference fit. The method includes rotating the annular gas turbine engine component, directing thermal energy from a heat source at the annular seal to thermally expand the annular seal relative to the main body while the annular gas turbine engine component rotates, removing the heated annular seal from the main body, providing a newly manufactured replacement detail having substantially the same configuration as the main body, and engaging the removed annular seal to the replacement detail with an interference fit.
