Want to replace a ceiling fan which has a remote control. I unscrewed the
three (on this model, there are only three) screws at the top of the
canopy. It twists an inch to each side, but won't come down. It looks like
the metal inside the screw holes (what the canopy screws into) is also
moving. How can I get it unstuck? Twisting over and over isn't helping.
Most trist a few degrees, then drop - there are "L" shaped notches
in the "bracket" and bumps in the canopy that fit in the grooves.
