Broken window crank

The crank on our rear Landmark window seems stripped. It turns but the window only opens slightly then is impossible to close. Quick question - are these cranks fairly standard? Relatively straight forward to install/replace? This particular crank was always cocked at an angle compared to the others.

Thanks all!

I don't know if you can just buy the crank, but on our Landmark (dual pane) we have had several of them fail. In our case the small rollers on the end of the arms pop out of the track on the window. Recommendation from Heartland Customer Service was to drill out the 2 rivets holding the crank in place, then reinsert the wheels in the track on the window and rivet back in place. This has happened on 3 different windows and twice on the bathroom window. I just keep rivets and a tool in the rig now.
