Now this is a quality video! Quick and to the point and super helpful!

Very helpful sir. Straight to the point, my type of video.

Giant help, this thing is driving me nuts. This is the only video that has actually helped me remove my fan

Thank you, thank you. I was struggling to figure out how to remove it when no screws were exposed. Thanks for you little video which saved me from destroying the ceiling.

I have finally just removed an old Hampton Bay ceiling fan. Here are the steps: 1) Remove the globe with the finger tighten screws being careful not to drop; 2)Unscrew the light fixture assembly and detach with the wire clip (or wire nuts); 3) Remove the blades one at a time by turning the blades until the screws line up with the open access area on the motor housing; 4) Twist the small ring next to the ceiling clockwise to release it and let it drop; 5) Remove the canopy section by removing the 4 screws; 6) disconnect the wires attaching the unit to the electric box in the ceiling; 7) (the big one!) Slide the ball joint out of the ceiling bracket through the single access point; 7) remove the ceiling bracket from the electric box. Hope this helps as there are many variations of Hampton Bay ceiling fans.

Yay, thank you! There was a thin ring at the very top that I turned to the right. It then dropped down to reveal the screws, just like you said. I never could have done it without your vide.

Just what I needed. i upgraded to more contemporary fan and could not for the life of me figure out how to remove the old one. This video solved my problem. Many thanks.

Turn the ring CLOCKWISE

Thank you so much!!! You saved me from hours of noodle arms trying to figure this out. Stay aewsome!

we just had this same problem, we were working on this for an hour before we thought to look this up on youtube. Came off and now we don't have to call a handyperson. This video is a godsend!

You're a lifesaver, and quick helpful video as well.

Thank you! I was stumped. Also. Turn off the breaker. I just turned off the wall switch.

THANK YOU!!! My husband tried twisting the fan base but not just the small ring at the top. This video was such a time saver! 👊

thanks for this video!! it kept us from wasting our time trying to figure out how to take the old fan down.

Thank gawd for KZfaq and YOU!

You sir, are my savior. Ty.

Thanks you so much for this video. We have been struggling with this stupid fan for 30 min. After your video it was done in only a few minutes 😊
