Relatively easy to pull out the old one and put in the new one. New bake element used different screw size than the old one for attaching it to the oven's wire connectors that supply the voltage to the bake element but thankfully the new one also included those 2 screws (new ones aren't hex head screws but use a straight screwdriver to screw them in). Used mini pliers to hold the back element wire connector while screwing in the screw that holds the oven wire connectors to it. Used 1/4 inch socket to remove the hex head screws that hold the plate at the back of the element to the back of the oven. I finally realized the plate has a smaller center plate in it that can rotate about 20 degrees or so allowing you to rotate the element up and out of the way to get a straight shot to the screws that hold that outer backplate to the oven. Without removing the oven door (which I didn't ) it's kind of awkward getting yourself positioned to reach back to remove or install it, depending on how long your arms are From the front side of the oven I leaned mostly along the door hinge and slightly into the oven to get my arms back far enough to see and remove the old one and put the new one in.
