    I tried a search but no luck. So I'm trying to change out the plastic, and the nut molded into the tank (middle right side) is spinning in it's housing. So how do I deal with that? The bolt is still locked in place in the nut- even with PB Blaster.

    That is one of the toughest topics to try to locate. I tried to add the "Rivnut" tag on certain threads.

    I also added that tag to this thread in anticipation of good information that may be forthcoming. :)

    thanks,
    I just pried the nut out - I am going to see if I can find a new one at my local fastener shop - if so i will just epoxy it back into place and see if that works!

    Yep, you can epoxy back in & usually it's better than stock. GL
