The old element disintegrated into little pieces

Please make sure the oven is off before working on oven.
Removed element by removing the 1/4 inch bolts. There were spade lugs attached to it end of element inside hole around insulation. Be careful as to not let spade lugs slip back into hole. I left it attached to broken elemnt piece until I was ready to install new one. That way it held it into place.
Cleaned out the oven of all the fragments with a rag and warm bucket of water... Installed new element. Turned on oven to about 200 degrees F. for about a half hour to dry out and bake out any impurities
