The correct replacement hitch pin for your Thule Trailblazer Bike Rack 998 is the Thule Replacement Hitch Pin Assembly for Bike Carriers part 853-5019-02. The problem is that this pin is no longer made as the rack is very old and there isn't a direct replacement for it. You might be able to use the Threaded Hitch Pin for Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock part # TH62RE as I've heard the thread size is the same but I cannot confirm this unfortunately. The hardware store or a new rack would be your only other options I'm aware of.
