How to replace Electric Range Oven Bake Element. Removed the old baking element and replaced it with the new one. First I detached the screws removes the old baking element making sure that the wires stay attached and did not fall back into the oven. Detached the wires from the old baking element which was the hardest part. Attached the wires to the new baking element and attached the screws and the element has worked great since.
