There shouldn't be another washer on the Replacement Red Knob for Yakima Frontloader Fork Mount Bike Carrier # 8880226. That appears to be part of the internal threads on the red knob itself. To replace this piece you'll just have to replace the brass nut and bolt that hold this to the rack and you'll be all set.

Hey James, so the difference between the two knobs is going to be when the rack you have was made. If your Frontloader was made after 2016 you need the part #8880766 or if before you'd need part #8880226.
