This is on the top upper oven on this twin cavity oven cooker model.
Not a hard job just 2 wires and 2 screw on this model and most models to be fair but this one does make it a bit more difficult that you have to open up the copper tube holding element and pull it out it can be hard to get the capillary tube out, try to open the copper out carefully and steady. Try not to damage capillary tube as you may cause damage and further expense and time on repair.

you need to use long nose pliers and open up the tube to allow the probe to
be pulled out from inside
probe is now out you can go to front of the oven open the door and look for the screws that
hold the element in place
both retaining screws removed the element will just pull free
Element is out you can test it with the multimeter again if you wish and test new on prior to fitting

rethread the thermostat capillary tube back into its shroud and bend copper
a bit so it will not work free
