This would seem to be an easy task, but it has eluded me. Trying to remove the clip on bar end weight in order to install a brake lever guard.

I have the correct hex driver for it. But it's as if the thing is welded to the clip on tube. I presume the thread is right hand and simple needs a bit more persuasion. I've tried removing the tube from the bike and grasping in a collet on my lathe, but the whole thing just spins within the collet.

Just want to check before moving on the more force/torque on the darn thing.
 
Yes, it has very fine threads and the loctite makes it stuck! Once you break that free and clean off the loctite it will turn smoothly.
