A method of installing a diffuser in an air cycle machine includes placing a first housing on a shaft, placing a seal plate on the shaft, and placing a diffuser on the shaft. Next, the diffuser and the seal plate are aligned with an alignment tool. The alignment tool has a first annular surface to align with a radially outer surface of the seal plate and a second annular surface to align with an annular flange on the diffuser. Finally, the diffuser is fastened to the seal plate and the alignment tool is removed from the diffuser and the seal plate.
