I am trying to change the bulbs but you can't really get to the bulb by just reaching into the globe. It looks like the easiest way would be to take the globe off but I can't figure out how to take the globe off.

This should be your fan http://www.belowcostappliances.com/images/28870_lg.jpg that small bronze finial under the globe unscrews to drop the shade. If not your fan then tell me more and I should be able to help further
