Abstract
A turbine exhaust case assembly has an exhaust case and a bearing housing mounted in the exhaust case. A plurality of fasteners secures the bearing housing to the exhaust case. A spacer is mounted between the fasteners and one of the bearing housing and the exhaust case. The fasteners are welded to the spacer, thereby locking the fasteners against rotation.
