    摘要: A method of assembling or disassembling a gear assembly (20) of a wind turbine (10), the gear assembly (20) comprising a first helical gear (28) and a second helical gear (24) configured for rotatable engagement with the first helical gear (28), the method comprising transmitting a control signal to cause: axial movement of the first helical gear (28) at an axial speed relative to the second helical gear (24) along a rotational axis of the first helical gear (28): and, rotational movement of the first helical gear (28) at a first rotation speed relative to the second helical gear (24) about the rotational axis of the first helical gear (28), wherein one of the axial speed and the first rotation speed is a predetermined speed, and the other of the axial speed and first rotation speed is determined in dependence on the predetermined speed, and wherein the control signal causes the axial and rotational movement of the first helical gear (28) to occur simultaneously to engage or disengage the first and second helical gears (28, 24).
