Success! Thank you for the instruction! I just had to be more precise in ensuring that there was no slant in the corners of the side I was pulling down first. It was such a tight fit, that even the slightest slant between the adjacent corners would cause a jam while pulling the old/dead fan out. The new fan from Home Depot popped in with little ceremony and it works great! Also, my old fan had a single screw near where you plugged in the power plug, and my new fan had a similar hole for it. So, I used the old screw with the new fan even though it didn't really need it since there was that one metal tab, where the flat head screwdriver was needed, to keep the whole thing in place.

Glad it worked out you. Yes it can be a tight fit. Feel free to share my videos.
Good tip on the flathead screwdriver! Was able to get mine replaced in a few minutes today. Thanks!
Yea piece of cake!
