Broken Landing Gear need HELP!

So I just pulled onto my site for the weekend and while I was extending the landing gear so I could unhook the shaft that the shear pin goes through broke disabling that leg. Pics below.
Is this repairable or is a new leg needed?
Its electric drive and the side that broke is the far side opposite the motor.
Hoping there is an inexpensive fix.
Any info is appreciated

I held the square shaft against the legs shaft and it turned allowing me to unhook and level. The leg is down and supporting the 5er. I'll do the same to crank it up to get home.

Are the legs hard to remove from where they are mounted?
Any tips on how to remove it for better access?
Thanks

Is their way to manually lower the shaft?

That shaft didn't brake on it's own. Something else is wrong with the gear box or leg to make it brake.

I drilled a new hole in the broken shaft. Took a while as that is hard stuff, but I finally did it. Started out with an 1/8" bit. Still hanging in there after several years. Good luck.
