I spoke with my contact at Lippert and he said it sounded like you have a broken shaft and you will need a replacement follow landing leg and snap pin.
The Stromberg Carlson replacement follower leg, # LG-179014, is designed as a replacement for landing gear # LG-1 and # LG-183708. But also works with most other brands including Atwood, Lippert, and Venture. It is very likely this leg will work with your landing gear.
