Hi -- I have a GE XL44 Gas oven/range...and need to replace the oven gas igniter. I removed the oven floor and BUT cannot see how to remove the flame spreader (plate sitting under the gas tube) so I can remove old igniter (which is attached to a gas tube)... can anyone offer a suggestion? When I removed several screws around the perimeter -- the spreader sank down about 1/2 inch but can't move it after that... HELP?!

The wires hang down behind the bottom drawer -- so I can get to them -- but will need to cut and use wire nuts to connect new igniter since connectors are different configuration -- will that be an oprational problem.
