Where an inch clearance counts big time, I always wondered if you couldn't literally squeeze by on those big diameter cases by a little brute force. Those things really go egg-shape in a blade loss event by several inches. It seems like they would probably just deform under their own weight fitting through a door if nothing was bolted to their flanges.
