With great ease. Only thing I would have appreciated was knowing the size ofvthevrequired socket wrench. Otherwise it was easy and fun as the instructions were crystal clear.

Element died
The hardest part was working in the oven.
Turn off power
Open Oven Door, remove racks
Remove two mounting screws with nut driver.
Slide the element out to expose the wire connections.
Remove the screws and pull the element out.
Place the new element in oven.
Clamp on to each of the terminals with vice grips to keep from bending the element and install the screws.
Slide the element back into place and put the two mounting screws back in.
Put the racks back in and turn on the power and test. You may get a little smoke off the new coil.
Like I said the hardest part is leaning into the oven to attach the screws, do not sit on the oven door.

Oven took long time to reach desired temp. Element sparkled and burned up.
First I turned off the breaker to the oven,
then I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. I placed the new element in the oven, reconnected the wiring and replaced the two screws in the mounting bracket. I reset the breaker and turned the oven on to about 450 degrees for 30 minutes to burn off the new smell of the element. This job was very easy and I saved about $100 from paying a service to do it.

bake element burned out
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Then I replaced it with the new element that took only two days to arrive and that was without paying extra express shipping fees. It couldn't have been easier. I didn't even wait for my husband to come home and install it. I had an oven-baked meal ready when he got home. I was very satisfied.

Bake element burned out
Actually you are right, I removed the two screw pulled the element out , disconnected the two wires holding the old element and put the new one on. I spent more time finding out whether or not it would be safe to work on it, being on my own for the first time and always had someone do it for me. I was told as long as the oven was not on it was safe and so I went to work. I was also very impressed at the short time it took to get the part. Three days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although the element looked like mine in the picture the hookup was different
Element was easy to remove two screws and unplug it. New element didn't have the same prongs and brace was different. Added ends to plug with screws supplied drilled new holes in oven back for brace. Works fine for a repair by a 65 year old woman.

Bake element failed
I made sure the power was off. I removed two screws from the mounting plate, then I pulled the heating element forward two inches. Where the wires were attached by two screws, I removed those screws also; the heating element was freed up. I then removed it and replaced the 28 year old heating element with a brand new one.
