pull
Gently lever left side then right side until element pops out. white goods techs are equipped with an axe type tool with a narrow pointed end to lever the elemnt out specially designed for this purpose.

but did you ever work for hp?
No sir, but serviced a range of hotpoint machines however if stuart.law is still having problems it may be the inner seal of the element has not decompressed if thats the case, screw the nut back onto the fixed threaded bolt just enough to be flush with the end of the bolt then gently tap the bolt and nut. this will decompress the inside part of the element seal which should make removal easier.
took off front of drum fitted properly then.,element was ok and termo couple.
But still have problem with machine stopping .
1 have checked motor brushes are good.
2 cleaned out water pump working well
3 water pessure switch seems to change over when sucktion appied

3, blow, dont suck.
it works by the water compressing the air in the bannana, not a vacuum, hence my blow comment

At what point in the programme does the machine stop. If it is at the rinse/spin part of the cycle then it usually indicates motor brushes
