Hey Larry!
The question you asked was from the page of the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2198 for a 2006-2010 Ford Explorer or 2007-2010 Explorer Sport Trac, so my answer is based on that part and those vehicles.
The pins for the # BX2198 are not individually available, but they are included with the Replacement Attachment Tabs for Blue Ox Base Plates # BLU37XR. The pins are built into the tab, so they're not removable or able to be replaced. If you're instead looking for a pin for a Blue Ox tow bar, you can use Replacement 1/2" Retaining Pins for Blue Ox Tow Bars # BX88219. I'm happy to look into this more for you if you have a different brand of tow bar, or if you'd like me to confirm that this will fit your tow bar model.
What kind of vehicle are you flat-towing? What happened to your current pin?
