I've been trying to checkout the inside of my fan to see if there's any leaves or anything inside it cause it makes God awful noises and it annoys everyone who rides with me, I unscrewed all the bolts and disconnected all of the harnesses and it is not coming off, do I need to pry it off with a flat head or is there more than just the bolts?

 

If you're positive you have all the screws out then just pry on it a little. Mine was stuck on there pretty good when I pulled it off..

 

Did yours look like there was a gasket on it cause when I pry on it bits of rubber material scrape off

 

It should just pop off. Make sure you didn't miss a screw. Work around the edge till it comes loose. Keep an eye out all the time that there isn't something holding it, but it'll come.
