Removal of element?

Could you advise me on how to remove the heating element on my Siemens HB12320. I have removed the backplate exposing the element and fan but I cannot seem to pull the element out.
Also is the backplate supposed to come out with it . I have managed to loosen the element but it wont pull out Thanks

done
Ensure power switched off !
You will have to pull out the oven and remove the rear cover to access and remove the element fixing screws. The element power and earth connections can then be unplugged and the element removed.

Also reccommend replacing element with a '3 ring 2500W' element.
