A320 family engine tooling — A319 / A320 / A321ceo
The CFM56-5B powers the Airbus A320 family (A319 / A320 / A321 ceo variants) competing directly with IAE V2500 across the same airframes. With over 8,000 CFM56-5B engines in service worldwide, MRO tooling demand stays high. 145GSE supplies the full CFM56-5B catalog — fan section fixtures, LPT module stands, HPC borescope kits, igniter removal tooling, combustor liner inspection rigs, and engine transportation stands — built to the same specs as our CFM56-7B line.

OEM tooling typically carries a 2–5x price premium with longer lead times. Our OEM-equivalent fixtures are dimensionally and functionally identical to the OEM specification, manufactured on 5-axis CNC to ±0.02 mm with full AS9102 first-article inspection. Unit pricing is transparent on quote and includes export-compliant documentation.
The earlier CFM56-5A (A319 / A320 ceo, pre-Tech Insertion) shares some tooling with CFM56-5B but not all — specifically the fan blade attachment torque procedures and HPT clearance adjustment fixtures differ. Our catalog tags each tool with the exact applicable variants; cross-compatibility is confirmed by serial-number range on the calibration certificate.
We support active CFM56-5B fleets across CIS, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Recurring orders for high-frequency tools (torque wrenches, calibrated fan blade fixtures) qualify for our annual recalibration program. Multi-year supply agreements with capacity reservation are available for fleet operators above 30 active engines.
Send drawings, a worn sample, or a part-number list — an engineer reviews every inquiry and replies within 48 hours. Custom CFM56-5B tooling is built to drawing on a 8–14 week lead time.
