I have a ceiling fan in which the flywheel broke.  Unfortunately,  
the 12 ft step ladder wouldn't reach the mounting, as this fan is 
installed in a room with a 22 ft ceiling.  So what did I do?  Get the 
extension ladder and bungie cord it to the step ladder.  It's a 
strange feeling climbing an extension ladder that's not leaning 
against something at the top :.)  I got the fan down OK.  Hopefully 
it will go back up as uneventfully later this week.  Pic of the set 
up at http://w2up.home.mindspring.com/ladder.jpg

BTW, as I got above the step ladder, the whole thing did start to tip 
forward, so my wife was standing on the bottom rung, to hold it in 
place.
