It wasn't as difficult or traumatic as we expected! A good steady hand with a reciprocating saw (less than $100 if bought or can usually be rented) and we were back in business! In our case our stove was wired in as well but the wires from the stove went through a hole and into our basement! So we ended up having to enlarge the hole to get the cord end from the new stove through so we could go down there to plug the darn thing in. We also had to cut the counter top (a very narrow section that was behind the original) to slide the new stove in far enough. That wasn't quite as easy but a carpenter friend told us to put 2 layers of masking tape right where we wanted the cut, draw the line then cut. Not even a tiny chip in the old counter! GOOD LUCK!
