First, shut off the power supply to the oven junction box.

Now use a Phillips head screwdriver to unthread the two screws securing the mounting flanges to the cabinet.

Remove the washers as well, if still intact.
7
Now have an assistant help you to pull the appliance out of the cabinet and set it on a sturdy surface.

Using a T10 Torx bit, unthread the two screws securing the rear cover.

Lift the cover up to detach.
11
Now use a T20 Torx bit to unthread the six screws securing the convection housing.

Turn the housing around and use a 5/16 inch socket or nut driver to loosen the fan blade mounting nut by rotating it clockwise.
14
Fully unthread the nut and remove the old blade.
