Replacement Anti-Rattle Tightening Knob for a Thule Apex Bike Rack

Question

Question:

The gear inside my knob has rounded and will not allow me to tighten my Apex rack into the hitch to where it is sturdy. Does the direct replacement knob include the internal components or is it just the replacement plastic knob.
