Helpful Expert Reply:

The Cotter Pin # 165649 can be used on a Lippert axle, so as long as you're replacing a cotter pin with a 1/8" diameter and 1-3/4" of usable space, this will work just fine for you.

If your pin has different dimensions, just let me know what you're looking for and I can help you locate a replacement.
