The element has failed in one of the two immersion heaters on my hot
water cylinder. The problem is, I'm having real difficulty removing it
so I can fit a replacement.

What you seek may not be possible. I would locate a suitable rapidly
deliverable replacement before trying too hard, in case the cylinder
dies during the operation.

Whether you manage to get the old one out or not it would probably
be a good idea to practice some preventative maintenance in future,
by slackening off the heater every year or so. Obviously lower the
water level first.
