If the knob of the Thule Spare Me part # TH963PRO will spin without tightening or loosening that means the lock mechanism is engaged and it needs to be unlock so that the knob engages the threads and will loosen.

Try different key positions on the knob # 753-1908-04 to see if you can get it to engage properly.
