Powerplant jacking insert with exterior and interior threads

An assembly for a powerplant, comprising:

• a first powerplant component including a first flange and a plurality of first component apertures, the plurality of first component apertures arranged circumferentially about an axis and extending axially through the first flange, and the plurality of first component apertures including a plurality of first component fastener apertures and a first component insert aperture;
• a second powerplant component including a second flange and a plurality of second component fastener apertures, the second flange axially engaging the first flange, and each of the plurality of second component fastener apertures aligned with a respective one of the plurality of first component fastener apertures;
• a plurality of fasteners attaching the first flange and the second flange together, each of the plurality of fasteners comprising a first shank projecting axially through a respective one of the plurality of first component fastener apertures and a respective one of the plurality of second component fastener apertures;
• and
• an insert projecting axially through the first component insert aperture and fixed to the first flange through a threaded interface, the insert comprising a threaded bore and a second shank, the threaded bore extending axially through the insert, and the second shank extending through the first component insert aperture and axially projecting out of the first component insert aperture opposite to the second flange.

An apparatus for a turbine engine, comprising:

• a jacking insert including a head, a shank, a bore, exterior threads and interior threads;
• the shank comprising an exterior threaded portion and an exterior unthreaded portion, the shank projecting axially along a centerline axis of the jacking inserted out from the head to a distal end of the jacking insert, the exterior unthreaded portion at the distal end of the jacking insert and the exterior threaded portion between the exterior unthreaded portion and the head;
• the bore projecting axially along the centerline axis through the head and the shank;
• the exterior threads arranged along an the exterior threaded portion of the shank, and the exterior threads configured with a first rotational thread direction about the centerline axis of the insert;
• and
• the interior threads arranged along the bore, and the interior threads configured with a second rotational thread direction about the centerline axis of the insert that is opposite the first rotational thread direction.
