I was able to swap it out with another latch on one of my ski lockers until I buy a replacement. My problem was the plastic nut was locked really tight in place and I couldn't budge it. I did not have a large channel lock at the lake. The first couple times I tried, the whole assembly just spun in place which had me scratching my head and hence the post. All I saw in the post about removal was that it was "super easy" making me wonder what the hell I was doing wrong. After a little more reading I decided to try twisting it again and sure enough it popped free.
