Reverse process to install new switch.
Note: Since this switch is prone to being bumped into due to the layout of our kitchen, before installing the new switch, I loosened the metal clip that holds the new switch together, then put a small amount of super glue between the two halves before reinstalling the metal clip.

It is important to make note of which cables are attached to each terminal of the block, so make a sketch PRIOR to removal. Also be careful how the cables are attached to the block. You are using 10 gauge cable with thick insulation. It is important that when pushing the range back into position the cable does not put too much pressure on the block as it will break it. That's exactly what happened to this last one. It probably cracked under the strain of the pressure of the cable and finally current running through it weakened it to the point where it broke off from the block causing it to short and trip the breaker.
