BFL, it will come out but it takes a lot of work. Using long needle nose pliers and a pry bar tool I made to go underneath the element and a lot of PB blaster or Kroil oil it took me several hours to work the element back and forth(only about a 1/16 of an in at a time) while prying up on the bottom of the element with the bar. There is not a straight shot at the bottom so I had to bend a steel rod to the right angle to get in there.
Good to know, thanks. I am afraid to try all that in case I break the cooling (whatever it is called) pipe that goes by there, which would mean no operation on gas or electric.
I think I have solved the problem for now, so no need to risk it.
