The bulb in my Harbor Breeze Aero ceiling fan recently burned out. This fan was already installed in my home when I purchased it, I do not have the manual, and this is the first time I've had to replace the bulb. I have learned from various sources that I should turn the glass globe counter-clockwise, but I can NOT get it to budge. All I do is turn the entire fan in its bracket in the ceiling. My next step will have to be removing the light from the ceiling and taking it apart. Any suggestions?

Well, I came up with my own solution. I thought it would be great to somehow get a better grip on the glass. My father suggested duct tape but I thought it might be difficult to remove well. We thought maybe hot glue would work. I took two empty Yoplait yogurt cups, put low-temperature glue around the bottoms and stuck them on opposite sides of the globe. They stuck just well enough for me to get a better grip and some good torque on the glass, and it came out just as it was described it should. They also popped back off easily. Your results may vary.

Interesting.
