The bake element is held in place by a single screw at each end (two total). This being a very old oven, I removed these with an impact to avoid rounding out the heads, but a regular Phillips screwdriver would ... Read more suffice so long as one is careful (do NOT use an impact to put the screws back in).
With the screws removed, gently pull the ends of the old bake element out of the oven wall. The ends where the wires connect are bent 90 degrees, perpendicular to the sides of the bake element, so take care not to hook the connectors on the edge of the wall opening as you pull them out. Don't pull the connectors off of the old element until you have secured the wires to prevent them slipping back inside the wall of the oven, or you may never fish them back out. I used a couple clothes pins.
Inspect your wires and connectors for damage and corrosion. If the insulation on the wires is at all brittle, discolored, missing, or if the spade connectors are discolored or loose, replace these with the parts included with the bake element. A dirty, poor connection will cause resistance, which causes heat, which will fry your new element same as the old one if your wiring is in bad shape. I had to trim about three inches off of each wire and splice in the new wire sections that came with the new element. For this you'll need wire strippers that can handle 10 gauge wire. Trim away any damaged wire, then strip the insulation from about a quarter inch, and splice in the new sections using the provided wire nuts. I followed with electrical tape to ensure these connections weren't stressed when tucked back into the inside of the oven wall.
Once the connectors are ready, simply place them over the connector blades on each end of the new element. Gently tuck the wires back into the oven wall, followed by the ends of the bake element. Push the ends back into the oven wall until the screw holes align, and replace both screws.
With everything reassembled and tools accounted for, turn the power back on and test the new element. It will give off a new appliance smell the first time as it burns off oils from manufacturing and/or storage. This should subside within 15-30 minutes.
The whole process takes 15-30 minutes, probably less if your wiring and connectors are in good condition. Take your time. The main things that can go wrong are mistakes such as losing the wires inside the oven wall, or failing to make sure the wiring and connections are clean and properly insulated. The bake element itself is largely plug-and-play.
