The Yakima RidgeBack 2-Bike # Y02457, 4-Bike # Y02458, and 5-Bike # Y02459 hanging racks use a bike of a different system than your standard hitch pin so you'll need something other than the HitchLock # Y07235 which fits more of the standard style of hitch pins.

To replace the rack lock on your RidgeBack you need the Replacement SpeedKnob and Wedge Assembly # 8880508 which locks the rack to your vehicle. If you're needing to also replace the hitch pin then that would be part # 889-0231 on our site.

Yes the Thule Apex 4-bike rack part #TH9025XT would work great for what you are looking for. Installed in a Class I hitch that fits your 2020 Honda Accord like the Curt part #C11525 you'd be able to carry up to 2 bikes but then in a future…

That bolt is what the anti-rattle device pivots on as you tighten it. As long as the knob can still turn by hand it's not too tight. If you went back to the same position it was in prior you are totally fine.
