How do I replace the bake element. I got to it and removed three screws holding it down - I just don't know what it is attached to in the two holes in the back of the oven and how to disconnect it?

The easiest way is to pull the range out of the wall and remove the rear panel. You'll have the best access from the back and from the inside of the oven at the same time.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Cavity replacement parts for MAYTAG MER5755QAB Range - S/c F/s Ele | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thank you for your help. It was so easy to remove a small plate on the back of the oven and replace the bake element. Between replacing the keypad and the bake element myself, I saved a few hundred dollars. According to what the repairman told me it would cost for him to fix it, I could have replaced the whole oven! I should've contacted you first - then I would've saved the $86.00 walk-in-the-door fee. And, it felt good to accomplish this myself!
