Abstract
A gas turbine engine compressor module subassembly construction and associated assembly method and tooling includes a threaded inner bore on the first stage compressor adapted to receive a tubular tool that slips axially between the compressor bores and the engine central shaft. Securement of the accessible tooling to the module's stationary structure permits assembly and handling of the module independently of the engine shaft.
