Fantastic Fan Blade Removal

My fan blades are very dirty, and need a good cleaning. I removed the screen (It was so danged tight it snapped trying to get it out!) and I could see a screw holding the fan blade to the shaft. However, the fan wouldn't drop straight down for removal, so question: Does the bottom cover get removed first to remove the fan blades, or, does the fan blades get removed from the top somehow? I didn't want to start unscrewing things until I asked to see if someone knows first. Thanks!

I tried for a week to remove mine. Pulled and pulled finally gave up. Set screw is out. Maybe one day it will drop.

They make a small brush especially for fan blades. It kinda has a loop of microfiber with a handle at the other end. It slips over the fan blade and cleans them up pretty well. Works on ceiling fans on down to vent fans.

Here's instructions, although frankly I'd do it Diesel Guys way, http://www.fantasticvent.com/assets/...eanyourftv.pdf
You can also google and find several videos on the subject are available on U-tube.
