A method of performing maintenance on a wind turbine component (18, 22, 24) of a wind turbine (10) having an integrated lifting apparatus (40). The method includes lifting a first temporary support (104) using the integrated lifting apparatus (40), coupling the first temporary support (104) to the nacelle (12) or the hub (16) and the integrated lifting apparatus (40), removing the wind turbine component (18, 22, 24) using the integrated lifting apparatus (40) and the first temporary support (104) in combination. The method may further include installing a replacement wind turbine component (18, 22, 24) using at least a part of the integrated lifting apparatus (40) and the first temporary support (104) in combination, decoupling the first temporary support (104) from the nacelle (12) or the hub (16) and the integrated lifting apparatus (40), and removing the first temporary support (104) from the wind turbine (10) using the integrated lifting apparatus (40). A system for performing maintenance on a wind turbine component (18, 22, 24) is also disclosed.
