Try to look on the sides of the unit; specifically the sides next to the wood beams. I'm assuming the unit is slabbed right against the beam; there might be a few screws attaching the unit to the wood beam. When I replaced mine, I found that to be the case. It is much easier to do the removal from the top, since the wiring is easier to access (for me at least). I didn't have any insulation in-between, so it was easy access for me. There shouldn't be insulation above the unit, perhaps the airflow is going off to the side of the unit? I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes...

There are no bolts when I removed the cover. We've been in the house less then a year. Wondering how they got this in to begin with. Tried pulling and tugging, but it just won't come out. We were going to go through the attic area but when we popped the attic slide the whole area is covered in insulation. Really hate to go above. Is there an easier way to pull it out without causing ceiling damage? I’m having a problem trying to remove the unit. There are no bolts when I removed the cover.
