If you have the Thule T2 Classic 2 # TH9045, I confirmed with Thule that the direct replacement of the hitch pin is the # TH62RE. If you need the lock housing for the pin as well, that is the # 753-3725-02. These components are the only confirmed fitment for a replacement hitch pin because the threads and pitch of the pin are designed solely for the T2 Classic.

I went ahead and attached demo videos of these parts for you to check out.

The model/serial number on the rack is sometimes on a white sticker or etched into the rack itself. Additionally, the model number can be found on any box or installation instructions you received with the rack. Apart from those routes, we confirmed with Thule that the only way to identify the rack you have is by photos.
