repair the points on a crossover

[CSX_jdv]

I have a E-Z Command DCC #6 Single Crossover Turnout - Right
(#444138) and one of the points has broken at the pivot point closest
to the frog.

Is this repairable and if so, anyone ever done the repair? How was the repair done?
Thanks.

Replace with a new turnout switch.... I have never attempted to repair a switch myself....

This is going to be tough. Expensive crossover also. About $85.00 but did not find that model number.
If you have the mechanical abilities, it is possible. I have hand laid code 100 turnouts.
Without the crossover right in front of me, no idea on what to do right now. Hopefully others will jump in.
Google, bachmann ez track points is all I can say right now. Look though a bunch of links. You will see what I mean.

while this is shown for the throwbar on a handlaid switch, it could probably be adapted to the hinge on the points as well.

He has one too many 4s in the model number. The actual number is 44138.
