Abstract
Methods of replacing flex seals in exhaust frames of turbine systems are disclosed. The method may include removing a section of an outer casing of an exhaust frame to form an opening within the outer casing. The section may be formed within a flow path of the exhaust frame. The method may also include removing the flex seal from the exhaust frame via the opening formed within the outer casing, inserting a distinct flex seal within the exhaust frame via the opening formed within the outer casing, and covering the opening formed within the outer casing of the exhaust frame.
