Landing gear pull pins assembly

I think mine is bent and gets stuck. This is just the pull pin for adjusting the height on the legs. I was looking online for parts, and it appears there are pins with diameter of 3/8 " and also, 7/16 ". I tried to measure and it looks like the hole is 7/16, so I would assume the pin needs to be smaller - 3/8.
Any advice out there? Thanks.

These are the pins I used to replace mine on the 318 HC. They were exact fit.
Lippert Components Quick Release 5th Wheel Landing Gear Pull Pins # LC308287. I got them from E trailer. My originals came back bent after the RV was serviced.

the only way that those pins can get bent is from the service department dropping the trailer too hard when they move it around the yard with there forklift or whatever they use to move them, most use forklifts with a cup attached to the forks. you should mention that to the service yard that last worked on the trailer.

I got a part at the dealer. When I removed the old one, it was strangely shaped. Sort of like 2 pencils put together end to end, but slightly offset. So they weren't really bent nor were they worn that way. I think they were defective from the factory. My new part works great!!! Thanks for the replies.

My conclusion also, but the cost of fuel, tolls and my time far exceeded the cost of part and the fifteen minutes to replace. That service was at the end of the warranty period and I have not returned in two years since.
