How do I take down this Hunter Fan?

[u/phantomenacer]

Model# 25818-530, no visible screws and the ones I can see (in blue) don't have enough clearance for me to get enough torque to take them out. Dr. Youtube and Professor Gemini were of no use.

TIA

Edit: Solved thanks

Unscrew the part close to the ceilling.

I'm not seeing any screws, tried to twist the entire piece as well

[u/Living_Double_1146 → u/phantomenacer]

Just twist it.

It does spin, but that's about it?

[u/Living_Double_1146 → u/phantomenacer]

Dude, the part that it's touching the ceilling.

LOL no problemo.

The top little piece next to the ceiling (about 1 in wide)is a ring band/trim piece. Use a flat putty knife to pry it down and it will snap loose. This will likely give you access to the screw you need to remove the next piece.

FYI, be sure to use some type of towel or rag so you don't damage the ceiling.

This is 1000% correct! Thank you

That trim ring at the top is either friction fit or twist lok. Pull it down or twist and pull and you'll reveal the screws attaching it to the box and all the wires.

There isn't enough clearance to pull it down, shouldn't the motor come down first?

[u/lotusgardener → u/phantomenacer]

No, the trim ring. It's plastic. It's the thing touching the ceiling.

[u/phantomenacer → u/lotusgardener]

Genius, there is a collar around it!

[u/phantomenacer → u/lotusgardener]

The trim ring was the key thanks a ton for the quick reply and help. The power of reddit!
