Fan drive gear system

A speed change mechanism for a gas turbine engine comprising:

• a planetary gear system including a planet carrier supporting a plurality of planet gears;
• a torque frame including a ring and a plurality of fingers extending from the ring and surrounding the speed change mechanism;
• and
• a bearing support attached to distal ends of the plurality of fingers for supporting a fan section support bearing;
• wherein each of the plurality of fingers include a pin opening with a pin extending through the pin opening and into the speed change mechanism.

A method of assembling a gas turbine engine comprising:

• supporting a propulsor section on a first propulsor section support bearing located on a first axial side of a speed change mechanism wherein the speed change mechanism is a planetary gear system supported by a torque frame having a ring and a plurality of fingers extending from the ring and distal ends of the plurality of fingers are attached to a bearing support;
• supporting the propulsor section on a second propulsor section support bearing attached to the bearing support located on a second axial side of the speed change mechanism;
• and
• connecting the plurality of fingers on the torque frame to the speed change mechanism with a pin extending through each of the plurality of fingers into the speed change mechanism.
