It is possible....but not too likely....that the nut is just barely out of reach with the weight in place on the long screw.

FIRST thing to do it try to get the screw to catch the nut inside the bar by taking the weight OFF so that the screw goes in farther. If it does and the nut catches, then you pull the whole thing out and re-assemble before shoving it back in and tightening.

Done it! Used the screw as Easy Rider suggested to catch the nut and then pull the whole unit out in one go. It fell out in my hand as a bundle of rubber plug, screw, washer, nut etc but was then easy to reassemble using dhgeyer's photo (thanks for that!). Alantf - I tried the wire coat hanger approach but it was too fiddly, alas - thanks for the suggestion though!

So all good - end bar weight is now firmly attached to the end of the handlebar again, yeeha!

Thanks for all your advice, MUCH appreciated, folks!

Just for future grip removal. Squirt some WD-40 under the edge of the grip. It will penetrate and loosen any glue. Then use an ice pick, wiggle it around under the grip and eventually all the way around the bar. The grip will slip off nicely with no damage. Clean up the grip and bar for re-installation. And yes, the hair spray will work as mentioned for putting the grip on and holding it tight.
