even with the oven door and bottom removed?

** I cannot get at the [bake ignitor] screws. is there an easier way from the rear of the stove? **

I very much doubt from the rear but maybe from below. It might also be possible to remove the burner with the ignitor still attached to get better access... depending on the make and model of appliance involved and how it was designed.

hotpoint-GE

the screws are under the flame spreader

i removed the screw in the front of the flame spreader but something is holding it in the rear of the oven, and I cannot see it so i am not sure how to lift it out

< if it can be lifted>?

** the screws are under the flame spreader **

The whole ignitor (not to mention the gas burner) will be under the flame spreader. It would usually have to be taken off to gain access to the ignitor and the ignitor's mounting screws.

Aren't there 2-screws holding it down? By the photo of the part (see the following link) it looks like there should be.
