3- unscrew wire nuts one at a time make sure you put the caps back on the wires before you move to the next wire.
4- if you have an extention bar lift up and pool down if no extention bar just unscrew and remove
5- pull it down and you are done SEE VERY SIMPLE

You don't have to take off the blades unless you just need to put them in a box.

Answer 2

In addition to the other answers... cutting power being the most important: when you remove the beauty ring to reveal the mount... you may find a little metal hook... this hook is designed to allow you to hang the fan motor to the electrical box so that you can easily disconnect the wires... If you don't see a hook under there, use some wire or something strong to tie it up... This will keep you from having to hold the motor with one hand or head, and trying to do the wire work with your other hand. Once it's electrically disconected.. unhook it and you've completed the job without hardly any heavy lifting.

Answer 3

Turn off power. Remove blades. Remove light fixture. Remove cowling . Remove motor. Or go to this install site and do it in reverse order!

Answer 4

If you need to ask that question, you don't need to tackle it, but best way is to have a extra person, turn off power and drop it down in 1 piece and disconnect the wires

Answer 5

I can't tell you because I can't see the fan, but the FIRST thing you need to do, is shut off the breaker to the fan! Don't forget to cut the power to it, or you'll end up shocking yourself.

Answer 6

First turn off the power from the main breaker. Then one screw at a time, then one wire at a time.

Answer 7

there should be screws along to top that hold it to the mounting plate
