The invention relates to a method and a device for demounting a turbine blade (1) out of an axial groove (3) of a rotor (8) or stator. The turbine blade (1) is demounted with a hydraulic device (9, 10) by means of a hooked slide (4) which is located in a gap (7) between the blade base of the blade root (2) and the groove bottom of the axial groove (3). At the same time, the hooks (5) of the hooked slide (4) engage into clearances which are located at the blade root (2).
