Removing backplate screws to replace a heater element?

WD40 (good spray and leave 20 - 30 min, also try one good solid tap on the screwdriver to 'free up' the threads), good fitting blade and, if all else fails - Screwfix Direct and get some screw extractors ( I got the bolt & screw set for fixing up old Lambrettas and they work mint) replace screws with a set from a PC shop for the casings of PC's, these have both screw and bolt option (if one goes you still have the option of the other)

Hope it helps

By the way... no one would happen to have a repair guide for a Hotpoint EW91 - Oven light comes on, fan starts going at it but no heat.. suspect element might have gone, or could it be the thermostat?
