I have an early model accentra insert with the old style ball-spring hopper lid latch. That latch is bent and missing one of it's balls. I see that there is a replacement latch that uses the new style latch. Would it be better to replace the old latch with new ball springs and attempt to bend it back, or replace with new style. If changing to the new style, how difficult a task is this?

Thanks!
