A mounting and dismounting device for a liner of a gas turbine includes two inner rails attached at the turbine housing and each one having a first straight portion, two straight outer rails releasably attached at the turbine housing, wherein the adjacent free ends of the inner and outer rails can be positioned in full alignment one to the other. The rails are adapted to support the liner to be moveable in its axial direction. The inner rails include a second straight portion connected to the first straight portion through a curved portion wherein the axis of the second straight portion is parallel to the axis of the combustion gas passageway.
