Are you having trouble getting a globe off or something? A model # or name would help. http://homeappliance.manualsonline.c...or_ceiling_fan

If it is the flat globe style, lightly push up on the globe and turn it to the left, it should loosen and drop out.

Yes,the problem has been getting the globe off. I will try your suggestion and if that doesn't work, I'll try to find the manual online. It is a 52" aero ceiling fan, about 5 years old. I don't see a model number on the information I have, which is just how to install it.
Thanks for your suggestions!
