How to remove a stuck twist on glass shade light fixture

Twist on ight fixture glass shade removal tutorial. All you need is a flat head screw driver. Just pry around where the glass meets the metal very gently. If you hear it starting to dislodge itself and move a bit you're on the right track. Once the glass shade starts to teeter back and forth with just the pressure from your hand, try to rotate it either left or right. Depending on who installed it originally you can screw this glass shade in left or right. So if it doesn't advance one way- try twisting it the other way. Eventually when you rotate the shade to certain position, the glass bevels that hold the shade in place will align perfectly with the metal bevels allowing the shade to freely come down from the fixture. Next for precautions, it'd take a light grit sand paper to the rusted areas on the metal part of the fixture. Lightly sand the affected areas down and apply some WD-40 to the circumference of the fixture as well as the glass shade. This will ensure that whoever needs to replace the lights in the fixture will have an easier time removing the shade next time.

Thanks. Be safe.
