Methods are provided for securing a tool within a gas turbine engine. The method can include inserting a tool into the engine; inserting a bladder between a portion of the tool and a component in the engine; and inflating the bladder to temporarily secure the tool in its position. For example, two tools (or more) can be inserted into the engine and secured by the bladder.
