If the nut on your pole won’t budge and the pole itself is starting to twist or bend, it’s best to stop applying force before the tension damages your ceiling. This usually happens when the internal tension mechanism or threads get slightly stripped or overtightened. A safe way to handle it is by using a rubber strap wrench instead of a metal one, it grips firmly without scratching the surface. You can also apply a small amount of WD-40 or PB Blaster to loosen the stuck nut, then gently tap around it with a rubber mallet to release tension before turning again.

If it still won’t move or you suspect it’s already warped, it’s much safer to have a professional remove it to prevent structural or ceiling damage. A home repair expert familiar with fixture disassembly or ceiling-mounted installations can handle this easily.
