The circular rotation support base is mounted to a top face of a wind turbine tower and a nacelle such that the nacelle can rotate relative to the wind turbine tower. A plurality of brake lining elements are removably mounted to the circular rotation support base. A disc brake unit acts upon the brake aligning elements.
