ABSTRACT:
A method for assembling a gas turbine engine includes coupling an axisymmetric structure within the gas turbine engine, wherein the axisymmetric structure includes at least one mounting bushing extending from a radially outer surface of the axisymmetric structure, and inserting a pin having a crowned surface at least partially into the mounting bushing such that the pin provides both axial and tangential support to the axisymmetric structure, and securing the pin to the gas turbine engine utilizing a retaining assembly.
