Help me change a lightbulb? No, seriously!!!

The house ratbastid and I bought about 10 months ago has 2 great ceiling fans in the rooms we use as offices, but we can't figure out how to get the glass off to change the light bulbs! Fortunately ratbastid, true to geek form, prefers his office dim and slovenly. I, however, neeeeeed my light! I'm down to 1 bulb in the overhead light on the ceiling fan and the squinting is giving me wrinkles and headaches. Can anyone tell us how to get into these damn things? I've been up on a ladder for half an hour and they seem to be hermetically sealed. At one point I considered just taking a hammer to the glass. One's a Hampton Bay

the other's a Harbor Breeze.
