The invention describes a lightning receptor assembly (1) for a wind turbine rotor blade (20), comprising a receptor unit (10R, 10B) comprising a receptor base (10B) for installation in the rotor blade interior (200) and a receptor (10R) for placement at an outer surface (20S) of the rotor blade (20); a threaded connector (11) to form a mechanical connection between the receptor (10R) and the receptor base (10B); and a conductive band (12) adapted to extend over the outer surface (20S) of the rotor blade (20) and to form an electrical connection to the receptor unit (10R, 10B) without requiring removal of the receptor (10R) from the receptor base (10B). The invention further describes a wind turbine (2) and a method of preforming a maintenance procedure on a lightning receptor assembly (1) of a rotor blade (20) of a wind turbine (2).
