Does not sound too hard. Oven is built in so only tricky bit sounds
like getting that out..take it there are some screws somewhere that
enable it to slide out?


Yes, screws. Usually accessed by opening the oven door.


Basically is ti fairly obvious what bits need to come out? any obvious
errors or things not to do?


This is again totally subjective - I know some people to whom it would be
completely obvious, and others who would simply stand there staring at it
blankly.

Make sure that you have something to put the oven onto when you slide it
out. I know of a block of 65 flats where every oven is installed with a
cable that doesn't allow it to come out and rest safely on the floor -
another 4" would make life so much easier!!
