Abstract

The invention relates to method for transporting elements of a wind turbine, said elements comprising a nacelle, a hub and a main bearing for the hub, and said method comprising assembling with fastening members,at the site of production or at another preliminary site of transportation, the hub and the main bearing. The invention also relates to a method for mounting elements when installing a wind turbine by hoisting to the nacelle,the hub inclusive the main bearing being mounted to the hub with fastening members such as bolts. The invention also relates to a nacelle for a wind turbine, said nacelle provided with a slot for accommodating a main bearing for the hub.
