As asked above, please post Make/Model of the Landing Gear. Sure sounds like there's a shear pin/key of some kind in there.
I looked at repair parts for Lippert and Bulldog, both had Roll Pins in the kits. If it only needs a pin or key, hardware stores and big boxes have that stuff. I helped a camper repair his HappiJack truck camper jacks, and the parts he got at the hardware store seemed better than the ones that arrived from HappiJack a couple days later. My part was to cut the hardware store roll pins to the right length. A "bi-metal" hacksaw blade will cut those split roll pins, and it sure helps to have a vise.
