I sheared one of mine off last year taking my 5th wheel on a road I probably shouldn't have. I replaced it for $35 at Harbor Freight. The originals were welded on and I had to get creative with mounting the new ones. I say new ones since I just replaced both and made them removable to prevent another problem. The manufacturer just had them ridiculously low and hung right near the rear bumper.
My main point is I wouldn't spend much time trying to fix old ones when you can get a new one for so cheap.
I thought about just replacing them and mine are screwed on to the frame so it would be easy to replace.
