If you are replacing a ceiling fan with a ceiling fan, I sure wouldn't

take it down with a crowbar. Ceiling fans are heavy and have to have

a very secure box.

What is wrong with reading the instructions?

A picture may help.





We bought this house a year ago, so the light was here, and we have no

idea which model number (or even the company!). All we know is there is a

remote inside, and it's not coming down. I have looked at other manuals

and even called Hunter Fans, and the woman replied, "What do you mean you

took out the screws and it won't come down, sir?" (Click).

I don't know what you mean about two screws near the base and hub..I need

an illustration. The lighting parts are off. Do I need to take off the fan

motor? I don't know what that has to do with the canopy not sliding down.

As others have suggested, I'd google for the install manual.
That may have pics that show how the parts come together. As
others have said, if the 3 screws are out and it rotates
an inch, I don't see how caulk could be holding it in.
Nor do I see the need for a crowbar. How is a crowbar even going
to engage with it? A flat piece of wood to protect the ceiling
and a wide blade screw driver, painter's 5 in one tool, etc
would seem to be a better option. Get that in there and pry
down. But first I'd try to find pics via the install manual.
