I could be wrong ( wouldn't be the first time  ) but sometimes that style of press nut has a knurled or serrated exterior to help stop it from spinning when pressed . Those serrations bite into the surrounding metal . I only bring that up in case you get the old one out and find that the hole is no longer perfectly round . If it were me I'd clean the area good , put a smear of JB Weld on the exterior of the new press nut and install . This assumes you can install a 3/8 press nut by hand . Good luck .
