Problem with Recessed Lights
Our kitchen was destroyed by Hurricane Rita in 2006 and I had to have it replaced. A local contractor replaced the ceiling light with 6 HALO 991 CT IC 4" recessed lights. I have replaced numerous bulbs and each time it got more difficult with the bulb sticking in the ceramic holder until now the ceramic socket turns with the bulb.
Well, I found that there is no way to take the can out (with my limited experience). There are no clips holding it to the ceiling and I can't figure out how to remove the fixture to repair or replace without tearing out part of the ceiling.
If someone has an answer could you let me know please.

Recessed light problem
Thanks for the response. I found that by pulling down and twisting the can it came out of the ceiling and I was able to tighten the screw for the socket once it was out. There were no other screws in the can holding it up. Think I am in business!
