I am trying to replace the sloppy hinges on my Neff single oven door. I can easily remove the door but even after removing the six set screws to the back panel it still remains very tightly attached to the front glass. Does the back panel need to slide in some direction to release it or is it bonded to the glass panel?

Sounds the same as B1641:

WARNING DO NOT FORCE OR YOU WILL BREAK THE DOOR.

Remove door from oven, lay down on handle.

DO NOT undo any screws. Grip internal glass at hinge end and pull up and away.

You will then see why handle end is tight, it is secured with screws though glass.

Once the glass is removed you can see all of the screws that you need to remove to take it all apart.
