A)
If your hand does not fit easily through the hole
you may find the job easier if you have either a “spring
removal tool” or even a “long nose pliers”. Both are
available at your local hardware store.

B)
If your hand does not fit through the opening, one
of these tools can be used to remove the coil springs
that are used to hold the trim ring and reflector to the
recessed light housing.

C)
The trim ring may have been previously painted to
match the color of the ceiling, and this paint may be
gluing or otherwise bonding the trim ring to the ceiling
drywall. If this is the case, you may want to break the
paint bond by carefully cutting around the edge with a
utility knife.
1)
After you have cut the paint bond at the edge
of the trim ring use a small blade (1” or smaller)
putty knife to gently slide under the trim ring and
lift it free of the underlying surface.
