The only internal pieces that are replaceable on a Diversi-Tech ball mount are the lock cores like what you mentioned with part # DTLBM02RK. Since this is the case you will need to replace the entire ball mount. I know this isn't the news you wanted to hear, but it's the only solution for your situation.

You can use a direct replacement like part # DTALBM6800 which fits a 2" hitch receiver and has an 8" drop and 9" rise, but I recommend going with an upgrade like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10043B which also fits a 2" hitch receiver and has an 9" drop and 9-1/2" rise. The Tow & Stow doesn't have locks but you can easily add a lock with part # 34061075-D to protect your investment. The best thing about the B&W products is that they have a limited lifetime warranty and the support from B&W is hard to beat.
