Heating element had developed split

First I shut off the breaker that supplied power to the range. After removing the oven racks, I undid the two screws that hold the element in place. Then, I gently pulled the element out of the back wall of the over and removed the two clamps holding the wires in place. I put the new element in place, applied the wires, pushed it back into place, and replaced the screws. Last, I turned the circuit breaker back on and checked to make sure the oven heated up. Total time was less than 15 minutes.
