1 can i get a repalcement and
2 how difficult is it to replace thanks in advance

or is it easier /cheaper to buy a new one

I'll bet you can get a brand new latch ASSEMBLY from Sears. They are normally easy to change...just drill out and replace the rivets. You may want to order those new from Sears too.

Uh-oh...just realized that I don't know if this is metal or plastic. My response was geared for metal.

Good luck!

Take a chisel, and on the inside of the box, chisel off the back of the rivet and it should pop right out if u take a pin punch and hammer it out. You could do this with a hammer and chisel or you could use an air hammer with a chisel attachement. You could bolt it back on if you do not want to mess with blind rivets because imo, they are a pain. I would just get the new latch and drill out the holes a little bit bigger and put on grade 8 bolts
