Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Use this guide to replace the broken blade arm of a ceiling fan.

A working ceiling fan will save money and potentially reduce greenhouse gases that hurt the earth.
Before using this guide, make sure you know where the circuit breaker is located and turn it off for safety reasons. A few necessary tools are needed, and no prior knowledge is required.
