Default Opening a Kenmore 790 range to replace burner ignitor

wrote:
Dang it,

My wife spilled some fluid on the burner while it was hot and the
ignitor ceramic insulator on one burner cracked and it won't light now
since the spark isn't up by the gas anymore, but rather down inside
the cracked insulator.

I found and ordered the replacement part (~$10) , but now I absolutely
can't
figure out how to lift the top of the range top to access the "sealed
burner" and replace the ignitor. The replacement needs to be screwed on
from underneath and the wire attached.

I cannot find any hidden latches or screws. This is goofy. On my old
range it was simple to lift the top.

Thanks very much for any help,

Kenmore Model 790.75762002

Hi,

I found and ordered the replacement part (~$10) , but now I absolutely
can't
figure out how to lift the top of the range top to access the "sealed
burner" and replace the ignitor.

All grates come off, burner caps come off and remove the screws from
each of the surface burners to lift the top panal....most/many will be
rusted/frozen in place or simply will break

Good luck!
