Craig, if you have a steady hand and the tools needed you can make this problem go away. Cut the long rod and leave about 1/2 inch sticking out. Use a die grinder, Dremel tool, or a jig saw and cut a line just to one side of the setscrew hole. Be careful not to cut through the long tube wall. All we want is to weaken it until you can use a pin punch through the screw hole and collapse the tube and use a chisel to collapse the end inside the tube and the 1/2 inch you left sticking out. After you get it collapsed to where you can get a pair of needle nose pliers or vice grips hold of it you should be able to work it out. Make sure to keep these parts soaked in a good penetrant while all this is going on. If you don't have any luck bring them up when you return the trailer and we'll do it here. Any questions you have my number.
