A method and system of supporting removable static components in a turbine engine stator assembly is described. The method comprises the steps of engaging a stator hanger located at a first location on a first static component with a post located on a first static structure whereby the post supports at least a part of the weight of the first static component, engaging a stator stopper located at a second location on the first static component that is located circumferentially apart from the first location with the stator hanger that is located on a second static component, and engaging a hook located at a third location on the first static component with a second static structure whereby the second static structure supports at least a part of the weight of the first static component.
