you lifting this thing out now. So now here's our cook top. We're just going to close these doors right here. And now this thing these things are actually pretty light and they lift out pretty easily. Good idea to have two people lift this thing out. And so we're going to lift this one out. It's got a cracked top on it. So, there's some pieces of glass that might fall out, but let's just get our hands underneath it. And you might you might have to use some type of tool to get underneath it. You don't want to use a sharp tool that might crack it if you're don't want it to break any further. This one's already broken, so we're not worried about it. So, now we're just going to lift this thing out. Here's our connection. Just grab our connection. Set it aside. This thing's extremely light.

We're going to be just reinstalling this new one in the the exact same way. Just going to measure quickly to make sure this is the identical unit, identical hole size before we attempt to put it in. So now we got our unit. We're just going to lift it up now. Turn it around where it's supposed to go. I'm going to drop my electrical conduit down there. And it just sits right in there nice and easily. Now we'll begin reconnecting our electrical connections. So, the new unit, the conduit, it didn't come with this elbow and this plate right here. So, we're just going to remove this cuz we're going to reuse it. Just has a nut that screws the elbow onto this base plate. So, we're just going to remove this nut. Remove this plate. And then there's just two screws that screw this elbow on. And…
