Abstract
A system for assembling an end cover of a combustor includes a connector and structure for engaging the connector to an insert positioned at least partially inside the end cover. The system also includes structure for moving the connector axially with respect to the end cover. A method for assembling an end cover of a combustor includes inserting a connector through at least a portion of the end cover and an insert positioned at least partially inside the end cover. The method further includes engaging the connector with the insert and moving the connector axially with respect to the end cover to compress the insert against the end cover.
