Abstract
A sliding bearing of a wind turbine and a method to perform a service at a sliding bearing are proposed. The sliding bearing has a first bearing shell and a second bearing shell and a plurality of bearing pads arranged between the first bearing shell and the second bearing shell. The bearing pads are connected to the second bearing shell and the first bearing shell has a sliding surface that is prepared and arranged so that the bearing pads can slide along the sliding surface when the bearing shells are moved in respect to each other. A machining element is arranged between the first bearing shell and the second bearing shell to treat the sliding surface of the first bearing shell.
