I am trying to replace a ceiling fan in one of my bedrooms. The problem is I am trying to replace a Hampton Bay ceiling fan and I cannot get the canopy down. There are no exposed screws on the canopy. There is a decorative ring around the top of the canopy that doesn't seem to be attached to the canopy itself. However, I can't get the decorative ring down either. Any suggestions?

If it's not 'clicked', then it's screwed. Try to undo it by unscrewing it (take it with both hands, turn left).
These Hampton ceiling things are a real pain. I think that they apport about 20% of the questions here. Never buy that stuff again.
Nah, maybe our chemical expert (Labman) has a better idea.
