Replace infinite switch in badly-stuck cooktop over 10 years old.
After many years of use by average families, the cooktop was firmly adhered to the countertop by kitchen contaminates (mostly dried grease) that entrained between the cooktop and the countertop.
Popping it loose with my geezerly muscles was hopeless, so I took 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood to spread psi (at the bottom of the cooktop
... Read more and at the top of the shelf below it), plus a 2 X 4 stud and more plywood as shims... placing in-between that plywood; a scissor jack from my pickup truck.
Locating this assembly to apply force at one end of the cooktop minimized the stress at the adhesion on the countertop. Results were no problem and no damage, in this case, in breaking the adhesion.
After that, a 1/4" nut driver did the loosening and tightening. A magnetic #2 Phillips screwdriver did the sheet-metal screw starting. A slot screwdriver was used to loosen the electrical connectors at both ends.
The repair was trivial; most of my time was spent in investigation, part acquisition, and setup. Here's hoping the above might cut your losses in that regard.
