I cannot for the life of me get the globe to turn. Anyone have any ideas how to make it budge?
You should try anything that is flat & has a soft rubber texture to it. For example, neoprene, used in a wet suit. Or even the back side of your mouse pad will work… One other way would be to use a dampened rag as well…Be sure to be turning the globe counter-clockwise when removing…Hope these suggestions work for you…Good Luck !!!
How do you remove the globe on a Hampton Bay Windward ceiling fan in order to change the bulb?
