The method of lowering a wind turbine blade assembly comprises positioning the wind turbine blade in a substantially horizontal position, holding the wind turbine blade in the substantially horizontal position with a crane, removing the blade assembly from the hub and lowering the blade assembly with the crane. In a further aspect, a method of disassembling a pitch bearing from a wind turbine hub using a tool having a socket wrench is provided. In yet a further aspect, tool for connecting or disconnecting a wind turbine blade assembly to or from a hub of a wind turbine is provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a hub crane assembly for a wind turbine. The hub crane assembly includes an adjustable articulating arm mountable at a first height on a hub of the wind turbine at a hinge point, a first hoist mountable at a second height of the wind turbine, the second height being greater than the first height, and a support component secured to the first hoist and a first attachment point of the articulating arm. Further, the first hoist is configured to rotate the articulating arm about the hinge point via the support component such that, as the articulating arm rotates, a clearance distance between the wind turbine and the articulating arm changes.
