Hey, Mike.

Based off what your describing it sounds like you have a multi-fit coupler. We don't have just the bolt by itself but there are repair kits, part # T4045400. There's not that many couplers that are like this so not too common. A more common type of coupler latch would be part # CT-3000-RK.

Below are pictures of a multi-fit coupler and a standard type of coupler.

Are there any other projects you're working on, on your trailer?

Mike, The best bet is to get the full kit, I bought it and replace all the works and it is a lot smoother now. Hope that helps.

@Fred Thanks for sharing your experience, Fred. Was your coupler getting really loose or where there other issues you started to see?

Hi Mike the kit i used was the Latch Repair Kit for Dexter Multi-Fit Couplers and Brake Actuators Part Number: T4045400. Evrything worked perfectly, as Fred stated below just replace the whole works, does not take long and everything will work smoother.
