Trying to understand how to best remedy my situation - Late last season, my trailer coupling release slide broke off (see below). I though I could remedy this with some JB Weld.

While, it held for a few uses and has since broken again.
Looking at trailer, I am not understanding how to replace the coupler, and welcome any links to videos/tutorials I was unsuccessful in locating.
Of the replacements I am finding on-line the generally look like the below, and have two thru bolts. I only see one thru “bolt” on the Shorelander, which is part of the brake actuator.
In summary, my questions are:
1) How to video/tutorial
2) If anyone has a link to a coupler that is known to work with the Shorelander trailers
3) Is the path of least resistance, towing the boat/trailer across town to a trailer repair facility

Looking up at the coupler, able to see the tension spring for the brakes.
