How do I replace a broken bake element on my G.E. electric oven?

I have a General Electric electric range purchased in 1994 - Model JSP31G. The bake element that heats the oven has broken. I have located a replacement part but before I purchase it I would like to feel confident that I am going to replace it properly before I purchase the element. It appears that the element can simply be plugged into the receptacle. But that almost sounds too easy. I would appreciate any directions.
