    Turn off power to fan, Remove any light kit, then the blades, then you will need to remove the screws on the canopy, If it is the large ceiling hugger(about a foot diameter)disconnect the wires, cap off and remove the 3 screws. Fan should be able to be removed.
    If it is the small canopy, remove the screws that go through holes, loosen the ones that have a turn to remove slot, turn and lower fan.
    Some have a Ball and socket, that require lifting out of socket once wirers are disconnected.
    Another uses a Lag bolt that needs to be lifted off.
    Good Luck
