a bolt received in said inner bore and in said threaded bore.

2. The hanger assembly of claim 1 , wherein said rotator comprises an axle fixedly attached to said hanger.

3. The hanger of claim 1 , wherein said hanger is rotatable to a position vertical to said inner duct.

4. The hanger assembly of claim 3 , comprising an orifice in said hanger for engaging with a tool for rotating to said vertical position.

5. The hanger assembly of claim 3 , comprising a protrusion extending from said hanger for engaging with a tool for rotating to said vertical position.

6. The hanger assembly of claim 1 further comprising a tool holding said hanger in a vertical position.

7. The hanger assembly of claim 1 ,

wherein said bolt passes through said bushing and engages said threaded bore for fixing said bushing to said hanger.

8. The hanger assembly of claim 1 , wherein said threaded outer surface allows for vertical adjustment of the bushing.

9. The hanger assembly of claim 1 , wherein said bushing includes torqueing holes therein for rotating said bushing.

10. The hanger assembly of claim 1 , wherein said bushing abuts said hanger.

11. The hanger assembly of claim 10 , wherein said rotator is an axle radially inward of the threaded bore.

12. A method for installing a hanger assembly, said method comprising:

providing a first duct and a second duct;

providing a hanger having a bore;

providing a bushing having an outer body;

providing said hanger with a rotator so that said hanger is rotatable relative to said second duct; and

providing an opening in said first duct;

inserting a first tool in said opening;

manipulating said first tool to rotate said hanger to be in register with said opening; and

inserting a second tool into said opening, said second tool engaging said bore to maintain said hanger in register with said opening.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising:

passing a bolt through said bushing and engaging said bore for fixing said bushing to said hanger, wherein said bore and said bolt are threaded.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising:

sliding said bushing over said second tool.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising:

inserting said bushing into said opening until said bushing contacts said hanger;

removing said second tool;

inserting said bolt into said bore in said hanger;

withdrawing said bushing from said first duct until a gap between said hanger and said bushing is created that relates to a desired position of said rotator; and

tightening said bolt.

16. An exhaust liner assembly comprising:

a duct liner;

a casing radially outward of said liner and having a threaded opening;

a hanger having a threaded bore;

a bushing having a threaded outer surface for attaching to said threaded opening of said casing and having an inner bore, wherein said bushing abuts said hanger;

a rotator radially inward of said threaded bore and cooperating with said hanger so that said hanger is rotatable relative to said duct liner, and

a bolt received in said inner bore and in said threaded bore.

17. The exhaust liner assembly of claim 16 , comprising

a plate fixed to the duct liner, the plate including at least one bearing having a slot configured to receive the rotator.

18. The exhaust liner assembly of claim 17 , wherein said rotator is an axle.

19. The exhaust liner assembly of claim 18 , wherein the plate is fixed to a radially inner surface of the duct liner, and the duct liner includes at least one hole for receiving the at least one bearing.

20. The exhaust liner assembly of claim 19 , wherein the slot is elliptical.
