Abstract
A method and a device are provided for removing a turbine bearing or a bearing segment of a preferably stationary turbo engine, having a housing that may preferably be split in half while the housing is closed. The method includes: supporting the rotor to relieve the turbine bearing of the weight of the rotor, fastening a support plate to a turbine bearing housing, attaching two parallel, rail-like supports to the support plate and fastening a cross-beam to ends of supports, fastening a counter-bearing plate having at least two push/pull rods to the turbine bearing housing, and fastening the push/pull rods to the turbine bearing and detaching the fastening of the turbine bearing from the turbine bearing housing and pulling the turbine bearing located in the operating position thereof out of the turbine bearing housing with the aid of the push/pull rods.
