Goes through the rim tightens to the bike. Just replaced my tires and when I tried tightening it the lever that you close fell off. I keep trying to get it to work but not working. I don't know if I need replace this. At work today I'll have some tools to I'm going to see if that helps

Quick release skewer, looks like you’re missing some parts though?
It attaches to the _hub_ of the wheel (the hub is the centre, the rim is the edge).
It is called a “quick release skewer”. It looks like you need a new one.
Edit: in case unclear, do _not_ ride the bike without it. The wheel could come off when you go over a bump, if you can keep it wedged on long enough to start riding.
