There isn't one. To replace the Rubber Socket item # 37210404 in the Plunger and Socket Door Holder item # 37210284 you have to remove the receiver bracket. That's why it's supposed to be installed with removable screws. You'll have to carefully drill out your rivets and then reinstall the bracket using screws.
What kind of RV or trailer do you have?

Hi Jerred, It is a Platinum horse trailer and the socket door holder is held by rivets. I can drill them out to replace the rubber socket. Was hoping there was a more streamlined process. Thanks
